2025 Australian International Education Conference (AIEC) in Canberra

It has been a busy week at the Australian International Education Conference (AIEC) in Canberra from 14-17 October.. The event was filled with engaging and thought-provoking presentations, discussions, and dynamic engagement.

This year's theme, "Navigating Change," focuses on how international educators, professionals, and organisations can leverage change and uncertainty to their advantage. Attendees explored strategies for building resilience in the international education sector during these challenging times and connected with colleagues to share experiences and expand their professional networks.

Study Melbourne moderated a number of insightful and engaging presentations with sector colleagues on Empowering International Alumni; A Cross Sector Approach to International Student Wellbeing; and Practitioner Insights into Sustainable TNE Models.

Located in the Study Australia precinct, the Study Melbourne pavilion has generated significant interest in partnering with Victoria.
