Simon Fraser University is delighted to be the lead host of APAIE 2020 and to welcome delegates from around the world. The theme, “Bridging Oceans – Internationalization and Higher Education in the Asia Pacific,” is ideal for the first APAIE conference to be held in the Americas.

As a university dedicated to “engaging the world,” SFU places a high value on international knowledge and collaboration, and has committed itself to being an engaged partner and contributor on the world stage. We are especially proud of the many educational, research and other relationships that we have developed in the Asia-Pacific region.
