Introduction to IAU
IAU, founded in 1950, is the UNESCO-based worldwide association
of higher education institutions. It brings together institutions
and organisations from some 150 countries for reflection and action
on common concerns and collaborates with various international, regional
and national bodies active in higher education. Its services are
available on the priority basis to members but also to organisations,
institutions and authorities concerned with higher education, as
well as to individual policy and decision-makers, specialists, administrators,
teachers, researchers and students. IAU contributes, through international
cooperation, to the development of material and moral assistance
for the strengthening of higher education generally.
