Learning Abroad Network

IEAA's Learning Abroad Network is Australia's leading forum for all things related to student mobility. Among other events, we facilitate the annual IEAA Learning Abroad Forum and Learning Abroad Fair Circuit.

About the Network

IEAA's Learning Abroad provides support, professional development and networking opportunities for IEAA members and other interested professionals who work, or have an interest, in international leaning abroad.

The network aims to provide:

To act as the prime Australian forum for discussion, debate, research and the dissemination of information and models of best practice in student mobility.
To contribute to the development of strategy, operations and policy in the field by government, institutions, organisations and industry involved in the international mobility of students.
Contribute to skills development of mobility staff through IEAA's professional development program.
