What is
CAEI?
The Conference of the Americas on International Education (CAEI) is the continental forum of excellence that brings together the main actors and decision-makers linked to the internationalization of higher education in the Americas to strengthen contacts, exchange experiences and chart the future of academic cooperation in the region.
The CAEI is organized every two years in a different host country in partnership with national, regional and international higher education institutions and organizations, offering a platform from which to publicize emerging challenges and trends, as well as good practices related to international education on the continent.

WHAT DRIVES US
Each edition of CAEI is born from a shared conviction: international education transforms lives, institutions, and societies.
We believe that international education is a tool for bridging cultures, strengthening institutions, and building bridges between countries. The CAEI brings together leaders, universities, governments, and organizations to promote a more integrated and collaborative academic community across the continent.
Great transformations happen when we work together. The CAEI fosters the creation of networks, strategic partnerships, and cooperation projects that generate opportunities for mobility, research, innovation, and institutional development at the regional and international levels.
Each edition of CAEI offers a space to exchange experiences, successful models, and emerging trends that are redefining higher education. We believe in collective learning as a driving force for continuous improvement and academic excellence.
Higher education faces increasingly complex challenges in a constantly changing global environment. The CAEI promotes dialogue on new perspectives, technologies, and approaches that enable institutions to innovate and respond to the needs of the future.
Beyond borders, we promote strategies that allow institutions to expand their global reach, enrich the academic experience of their communities, and contribute to the sustainable development of their countries and regions.
Each edition of CAEI takes place in a different host country, reflecting the cultural, linguistic, and academic richness of our continent. This diversity is one of our greatest strengths and a constant source of learning and inspiration.
