CEEDUCON 2025, organized by the Czech National Agency for International Education and Research, was a very eventful time at the Mestenhauser Institute! To kick off CEEDUCON 2025, MIIC and some of our higher education experts hosted a networking event for HE professionals interested in internationalization and building transatlantic connections. The event was hosted by Professor Jaroslav Miller at the National Accreditation Bureau for Higher Education. Speakers included Dr. Darla K. Deardorff, Dr. Jos Beelen, Dr. Harvey Charles, and Dr. Eva Janebova. We were joined by many familiar faces in the MIIC community, but many new people as well! We are grateful to everyone who attended and to NAU for hosting us.
MIIC Experts Lenka Henebergova, Eva Janebova, Harvey Charles, and Jos Beelen also led a panel on the role of international education in responding to current geopolitical issues. Participants found the session to be provocative and stimulating and provided the highest reviews at the end of the session.
