Our Head of International Relations Prof. Robert Buttery has been elected to the General Council, the highest governing body, after having served as Chair of the Business Education Committee.
The EAIE is the European centre for expertise, networking and resources in the internationalisation of higher education. It is a non-profit, member-led organisation serving individuals actively involved in the internationalisation of their institution. The General Council focuses on the big picture of the purpose of the EAIE and is tasked with developing a long-term vision for the association. The General Council also ensures that the EAIE keeps the best interests of its members at heart in all it does.
