IIE Europe's Commitment to Study Abroad  


The IIE European Office has supported U.S. study abroad since 2000 with a broad range of Short-term Visit Programs bringing everyone from first generation college students to graduate researchers to countries across the continent. 

 

Examples include the NSF funded Central European Summer Research Institute, and the Dorrance Scholars Summer Seminar.

 

We look forward to working with you all over the next five years, and sharing our commitment to the exchange of people and ideas between Europe and the U.S., as well as Europe and the world.
