IEW is an opportunity to celebrate the benefits of international education and exchange worldwide. This annual initiative aims to promote international understanding and build support for international educational exchange by encouraging the development of programs that prepare Americans to live and work in a global environment and attract future leaders from abroad to study in the United States."

European Students in the U.S.
The biggest mobility shifts among European countries sending students to U.S. colleges and universities could be seen in Norway (+24.2%), Denmark (+16.2%), Latvia (+13.3%), and Spain (+9.0%).
In total, 75.4% of European students are pursuing a full degree in the U.S., but since 2010 there have also been increases in enrollment in Non-Degree programs, as well as Optional Practical Training (OPT).
U.S. Students in Europe
 Europe continues to be the top destination for U.S. study abroad, hosting over half of all U.S. students studying abroad in 2009/10.
Four of the five top destinations for U.S. students are in Europe: the United Kingdom, Italy, Spain and France. Each country hosted more U.S. students in 2009/10 than the prior year.
