International Association of Universities
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.
