AIEC Activator - a social licence for international education

The AIEC Activator provides attendees with the opportunity to engage in positive solutions for the international education sector.  

Each year, the AIEC Activator takes on a key challenge impacting international education and use AIEC as a platform to generate creative and innovative responses.

During the conference, participants are invited to participate in activities that encourage knowledge-sharing and collaboration. Participants discuss ideas with like-minded people, offer solutions and work collaboratively towards achieving a common goal. 

The challenge for AIEC 2022 will be announced a few months before the conference. If you have an idea for a ‘challenge’, please let us know by email at aiec@idp.com.  

AIEC 2021

In 2021, the AIEC Activator faced the challenge of developing a social licence for international education in Australia. AIEC attendees were encouraged to respond by generating ideas, reflecting on our current position and co-creating tools to address this issue.
