News from IARU

ETH President Prof Ralph Eichler led the annual President’s Meeting in Singapore on 7 – 8 April, which was also his first official meeting as the IARU Chair. About 30 international IARU senior officials attended the meeting, which served to deepen collaborations in the areas of education, research, and institutional benchmarking.

Two new collaborations were approved – the IARU Sports Event for students, and the EdTech Horizons workshop, which will bring together educational technology experts who are responding to the EdTech tsunami that is confronting higher education.
