The Council on International Educational Exchange (CIEE) offers educators the opportunity to participate in International Faculty Development Seminars (IFDS). The seminars are hosted by prestigious academic institutions abroad and focus on internationalizing the curricula. The CIEE has offered over 150 seminars in about 40 countries worldwide. To learn more about this program please visit their web site at www.ciee.org/IFDS.aspx.

Brethren Colleges Abroad offers a series of seminars each year for college and university faculty and administrators. These theme-based seminars, held at BCA study centers around the world, give participants insight into a specific theme or topic, as well as help in understanding the host country and its culture.

International research is a good way for faculty and staff to make connections in other countries while enhancing your professional qualifications.  Your peers in other countries are often a great way to network, find resources, and partner on research.
