SUMMARY:APAIE 2026 POSTER PRESENTATION | BEYOND BORDERS\, WITHIN REACH: GLOBAL APPROACHES TO BETTER THE INTERNATIONAL STUDENT JOURNEY RELEVANT FOR ASIA-PACIFIC HEI'S
DESCRIPTION:Join Nannette Ripmeester (Expertise in Labour Mobility / etio) for an insightful APAIE poster presentation about “Beyond Borders\, Within Reach: Global approaches on to better the international student journey relevant for Asia-Pacific HEI’s” at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre. \nPoster Information \nThis poster explores how insights from the International Student Barometer (ISB)—a global large scale dataset of currently enrolled international students—can be used by Higher Education Institutions in the Asia-Pacific region to improve the international student journey. Through a comparative lens\, we showcase how institutions across the globe are using ISB data leveraging international benchmarking to design stronger student journeys\, delivering the ROI that currently enrolled (and future generations of!) students are expecting from their institutions of choice. We will showcase Good Practice examples that reflect international student needs. Through case studies and visualised data comparisons\, the poster will support Asia-Pacific Higher Education Institutions in being active contributors to a global community of good practice. \nThe Asia-Pacific Association for International Education (APAIE) 2026 conference scheduled on February 23-27th will foster collaboration\, innovation\, and knowledge-sharing to shape the future of international higher education as we explore the theme\, Asia-Pacific Partnerships for the Global Good\, from diverse perspectives.

SUMMARY:CBIE2025 | Losing Students\, Losing Ground: What Attrition Tells Us About the International Student Experience.
DESCRIPTION:Join Wendy Curtis (Fanshawe College)\, Haley Shields (Edified)\, Elyse Pipitone (Edified) and Nannette Ripmeester (Director Expertise in Labour Mobility\, Etio) for their CBIE session about “Losing Students\, Losing Ground: What Attrition Tells Us About the International Student Experience” on November 4th at 15:45-16:45 (21:45 – 22:45 CEST) at the Centre des congrès de Québec\, 1000 Boulevard René-Lévesque E\, Québec. \nAbout the session: \n“With increasing policy scrutiny and international enrolment recalibrations\, Canadian institutions are entering a new era where retention of international students throughout every stage of their journey is no longer just a support issue—it’s a strategic imperative. Yet how many institutions are deeply examining the true cost of attrition? Not only in terms of lost revenue and sunk recruitment costs\, but also the human cost to students and families\, and the reputational risks to Canada’s brand as a welcoming and high-quality study destination. Every student who leaves early represents a lost opportunity for another learner\, a potential ambassador for Canada\, and a disrupted journey with long-term emotional and financial implications for the student. \nThis panel will connect the dots between early student experience\, the drivers of attrition\, and the multi-dimensional costs to students\, institutions\, and Canada’s international education ecosystem. Drawing on insights from the 2025 International Student Barometer (ISB) and retention data from across Canada\, Australia\, and New Zealand\, speakers will offer evidence-based reflections on where institutions can intervene earlier\, act more deliberately\, and design systems that build trust\, connection\, and resilience.” \nCBIE2025 is Canada’s International Education conference and will take place on 2-5 November 2025. This year’s conference will focus on innovation and recalibration in international education looking further into the future than ever before. The theme – The Future in Focus: Advancing International Education in Times of Uncertainty – will provide space for sector leaders\, practitioners\, and collaborators to share knowledge\, forge meaningful partnerships\, and explore new ideas to bring the future of international education into focus. \nInterested in knowing more?

SUMMARY:BUILA CONFERENCE 2024: PERCEPTION MATTERS: BREAKING THE NARRATIVE
DESCRIPTION:Join Anne Marie Graham\,(Chief Executive\, UKCISA)\, Rhianna Skeates (International Careers Consultant\, Queen Mary University of London)\, Nannette Ripmeester (Expertise in Labour Mobility) for their BUILA  panel session  chaired by Ula Tang-Plowman (BUILA executive and UCLan\, Director of International Recruitment) on July 10th 2024\, at 12:00 – 13:00 (11:00 – 12:00 CET) at the Vox Conference Centre in Birmingham\, UK. \nSession Title: How do we integrate employability opportunities and outcomes into recruitment and marketing activity?  \n“Research shows 64% of students consider employment prospects as an influencing factor when choosing a university. And with UK universities marketing on an employability promise\, offering degrees with enhanced work skills and integrating career-focused activities into university life\, this is an opportunity that could put the UK on top. However\, in reality\, a high percentage of students say they are unprepared to achieve their careers goals after graduation\, which turns the opportunity into a threat.” \nThis session covers the importance of employability\, showcases activities that evidence eployability successes\, and cosiders how universities\, local government\, and emplyers can work collaboratively to meet our students’ employability expectations. \nThe British Universities’ International Liaison Association (BUILA) is a membership-led organization with a nationwide reach which suports the work and professional interests of staff members involved in international recruitment and liaison at UK higher education institutions. \nThe BUILA Conference\, scheduled on July 9-11th 2024\, will focus on the most important problems affecting the UK’s foreign student recruiting market\, with an emphasis on reputation and perception. Topics will include how UK HEIs may maintain their resilience in the face of political unpredictability and unfavorable media portrayals. Moreover\, the tactics that these institutions can use to prosper in the face of hardship as well as survive outside pressures will also be highlighted.

SUMMARY:EAIE session: "What Makes Students Happy - A global deep-dive"
DESCRIPTION:Over the last 20 years\, there has been a significant surge in the number of international students across the globe\, and this trend is expected to continue. It is crucial to comprehend the factors that contribute to the satisfaction of such students as it plays a crucial role in shaping their well-being\, mental health\, and academic progress. To explore this further\, we will be combining global research data from the International Student Barometer (ISB) with the experience gained from two very distinct higher education institutions in Europe and Canada\, both using the ISB as a tool for informed data-driven decision-making. The goal of our session is to gain a deeper understanding of what makes students happy and its implications on future recommendations to prospective international students. \nNext to Nannette Ripmeester\, this pre-recorded EAIE 2023 session will feature two other speakers who will share their expertise. Kellie McMullin has been managing outbound mobility programs at Nova Scotia Community College (NSCC) for the past 10 years and in this role works with students directly and witnesses the impact their mobility programmes have on their life. Eeva Liinamo-Liukku is a skilled business and marketing professional experienced in the ‘export’ of education\, commercialisation of university services\, partnership management as well as product and service marketing at Aalto University in Finland. \nAnd for all EAIE delegates interested in knowing more about Rotterdam? Have a look at our Rotterdam Digital Map for the best spots in ELM’s hometown! \nThe theme for the 2023 EAIE Conference is ‘Connecting currents’\, which pays tribute to Rotterdam’s rich maritime heritage and recognizes the vital role that water plays in the city\, both as a source of economic opportunity and a potential danger. Rotterdam is known as the gateway to Europe\, where the river meets the sea\, and people from all walks of life converge. In a similar way\, international education facilitates connections between various areas of knowledge\, expertise\, cultures\, and ideas. The issues that international educators tackle are diverse and dynamic\, ranging from virtual learning to climate change\, multilingualism to geopolitics. ‘Connecting currents’ is an invitation to explore and comprehend the complex world we live in\, drawing inspiration and learning from our diverse and thriving community.
