UNESCO IIEP

IAU has a longstanding partnership with the International Institute of Educational Planning (UNESCO IIEP). Recent partnerships include the book Quality Management in Higher Education: Developments and Drivers. The book draws from a survey of quality practices in over 300 institutions worldwide conducted with the IAU. In November 2020, IAU Secretary-General, Hilligje van’t Land, took part in the IIEP strategic debate on “Resilience in higher education - what lessons can we draw from COVID-19?”. The debate examined the factors that foster resilience in higher education now and for the future.

The IIEP Library was also a longstanding partner to HEDBIB, the retired IAU International Bibliographical Database on Higher Education. THE IIEP Library contributed references to the database and in 2019 hosted an event for IIEP staff and students where the IAU’s Information Centre and its databases were presented.
