First, the global strengthening of higher education worldwide by promoting mobility and diversification through projects such as The United Nations Academic Impact, ASPIRE/IAUP, and the Qatar Foundation/IAUP/IIE WISE Education Leadership Programme;
Second, provision of help to students and educators in regions where education and research are poorly developed owing to social disorder;
Third, further development of education through new initiatives at the worldwide level and regional level promoting partnerships with international and regional network of universities, as well as international organizations. For more, please visit: http://bit.ly/1iReSYK
