NEW YORK, June 18, 2015—The Institute of International Education (IIE) led a delegation of senior U.S. higher education representatives to Iran last week, meeting with counterparts from thirteen Iranian universities and research institutes to pave the way for increasing academic cooperation between the two countries. Today, IIE announced a new IIE Iran Higher Education Initiative to reopen and expand educational and scientific dialogue between Iran and the United States.

Led by IIE’s President and CEO Allan E. Goodman, the delegation included Ball State University, Pitzer College, Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, the University of Southern California (USC), and Wayne State University, as well as senior representatives of IIE. The delegation opens a historic new chapter in educational relations, preparing for significantly expanded educational and scientific cooperation, as well as more student exchanges in both directions.

It's all positive and educational co-operation is one of the most important areas that can help address the issues that can bring Iran out of the wilderness and into a new beginning in international relationships. The signs are there and it's encouraging.
