ANNUAL CONFERENCES

2025 - Towards equitable and sustainable partnerships

Following the ‘inviting for a new journey’ at the  2024 FAUBAI Conference, we extend our invitation to join us in Brasilia in April 2025, as we shift our focus ‘Towards equitable and sustainable partnerships’. As we embark on this new journey, it is crucial to cultivate partnerships that prioritize equity and sustainability, guaranteeing mutual benefit and enduring success for all stakeholders.

The FAUBAI 2024 Conference took place from April 20 to 24, 2024, at the Rebouças Convention Center in São Paulo, Brazil. This year’s theme, “Inviting for a New Journey,” encapsulated the spirit of exploration and innovation in international education.

2023 - Bulilding knowledge with all voices

The first in person edition post pandemic, on April 15-19, 2023, celebrating FAUBAI’s 35 years. The general theme is also a celebration.

Internationalization plays a leading role, uniting different cultures and listening to all voices.

2022 - Known concepts, new meanings

Due to the ongoing pandemic and prioritizing the participants’ safety, the conference will be held in virtual format. The general theme is Known Concepts, New Meanings. What has changed in the internationalization of higher education? How can the future of the internationalization of higher education be projected?

2021 - Expanding our minds

This year, when we still cannot meet face to-face, the FAUBAI 2021 Virtual Conference has decided to concentrate its activities on moments of collective reflections, new issues and paradigm shifts in the internationalization of higher education and the possibilities of new approaches and institutional actions.

2020 - Global Learning, Global Citizens

FAUBAI has been monitoring the evolution of the COVID-19 virus around the world these last few weeks and discussing the impact that the sanitary measures could have on our community. This is indeed a challenging time for all of us, given our dedication to nurturing the values of international education and openness, and we all look forward to a prompt return to normality.
