In our quest for academic excellence and cross-cultural enrichment, Epitech’s International Relations team participated in the European Association for International Education (EAIE) 2023 event in Rotterdam from September 26th to 29th. This event allowed us to demonstrate our dedication to global education and build connections that will provide our students with exceptional international learning experiences.
Epitech was proudly represented by Oriane Reynaud, head of the International Relations Office, and Marianne Moufakkir, Regional Manager EMOA (Europe, Middle East, and Africa region). Their key mission? Enhancing and broadening our network of global partners to provide our fourth-year students with an even more diverse range of inspiring study destinations and programs.
Strengthening Bonds and Sharing Updates
EAIE, at its core, serves as a platform to fortify relationships with existing partners, providing the opportunity to meet face-to-face and present exciting updates from both sides. Our primary objective at EAIE this year was to strengthen our existing partnerships and bring forth exciting updates that enhance the educational experiences for students on both sides. We proudly showcased new offerings, including our Winter School 2024, our double-degree program, and introduced some of our new campuses.
Reconnecting with Global Partners
During the event, our colleagues had the privilege of reconnecting with partners from various corners of the globe. Partners like Chung Ang University (South Korea), Feng Chia University (Taiwan), Northwestern Polytechnical University (China), Jönköping University (Sweden), Griffith College (Ireland), Universidad de Monterrey (Mexico), Universidad de La Plata (Argentina), San Francisco State University, California State University San Marcos (USA), and many others, were instrumental in nurturing our existing partnerships.
Inspiring New Collaborations
But EAIE wasn’t just about renewing existing partnerships; it was also a great opportunity for prospecting new, high-quality collaborations to enrich Epitech’s portfolio. As Epitech aims to offer students access to diverse destinations and strengthen its presence in specific countries, the team engaged with prospects from many other countries worldwide.
Tailored Conversations, Boundless Possibilities
Our discussions with potential partners were characterized by flexibility and adaptability. We introduced Epitech and its extensive array of programs and opportunities, including semester and annual exchanges, short-term programs, housing options both on and off-campus, certificates, and double-degree offerings. Each conversation was finely tailored to address the unique interests and requirements of our prospective collaborators.
Our participation at EAIE 2023 goes beyond a mere moment in time; it represents a strong commitment to providing our students with transformative experiences that will shape their futures. As we return with newfound insights and connections, Epitech is ready to carry on its mission of empowering students to embark on journeys that will enrich their lives and careers.
