Sustainable Development |

On 17 October IAU's Programme Officer Stefanie Mallow organised a workshop at the Future Forward Summit on Sustainable Development (SD) in Brussels. She offered a comparative perspective on how universities in different regions approach SD. Mallow also highlighted the need for fostering diverse understandings of SD as a way to build meaningful partnerships and to successfully advance Agenda 2030 worldwide.
During the summit, IAU together with its affiliate Member COPERNICUS Alliance awarded the IAU/Palgrave Macmillan Essay Prize on "Higher Education and Research for Sustainable Development: A New Academic Discipline?" You can read the winning essay here. |

Internationalization |

In early October, IAU held its first webinars in English and French on building a successful strategy for internationalization. In total, about 40 people participated from around the world, including Australia, France, Latvia, Kazakhstan and the US. IAU will offer more of such topical webinars in the future.
On 31 October IAU closed the 5th edition of its Global Survey on Internationalization. We have received over 900 responses and will be publishing the survey report in early 2019 (Members will receive a free copy). In the meantime, respondents will have a chance to participate in a webinar for a live discussion of the results.

IAU is developing a new policy statement to outline the key principles and values that must underpin digital transformation. The work is being steered by the Expert Advisory Group and Members now have the opportunity to contribute by participating in a survey (see above). In the future, IAU also hopes to include the voices of students and national authorities. The statement will be submitted for approval to the IAU General Conference in 2020. Members will have several occasions to offer feedback on the draft versions. |
