USIEA organizes conferences and seminars twice a year for members through its Chinese partner university network. The aim of these conferences is to provide a platform for partners to exchange views and share best practices on internationalization within higher education. Administrators and staff from international exchange and study abroad offices at various universities meet to discuss a wide range of topics including: different forms of collaboration with overseas institutions, promoting international programs on campus, how to assess and recognize courses from international universities; best practices for transfer of credits, etc.
USIEA also invites guest speakers with rich experience in international education to share their experiences at these conferences. Distinguished speakers are often invited from Chinese and US universities to deliver keynote speeches at conferences and seminars, and share their areas of expertise with other members of the study abroad community .
