Anti-marketing: How to use negative personas and contra-signalling to recruit the right students (S5.01)
Panel session
‘Anti-marketing’ sounds counterintuitive: marketers usually focus on attracting attention, not diverting it. But adding negative elements to your marketing and recruitment can drastically improve your enrolment success: prospective students will understand earlier whether or not your university is the right choice for them; time and resources will be freed up; and applicants for whom you are the right fit will be more likely to enrol. Join us for examples and ideas you can implement easily.Speakers

Telling a story: The value of narrative for international partnerships and stakeholder engagement (S7.14)
Panel session
Storytelling can be a powerful tool to transcend boundaries, capture hearts and drive change. As higher education officers, we often use technocratic and data-driven language to talk about international education partnerships and agreements. But do we neglect to ‘tell the story’ of why partnerships and international engagement are important and can change lives? This session will explore how well-crafted narratives can make international engagement relatable and meaningful to all stakeholders.Speakers

Beyond email: How to succeed with chatbots and peer-to-peer channels (S7.02)
Panel session
Email is the default communication channel for schools and universities, but is it the most effective way to engage students? Changing student preferences and new technology require institutions to consider strategies for communication through artificial intelligence chatbots, mobile messaging apps, peer-to-peer platforms and an array of social media. The choices are many, but what actually works? This session will look at how to use innovative communications in an effective and sustainable way.Speakers

Increasing universities’ societal engagement through challenge-based programmes (S8.13)
Increasing universities’ societal engagement through challenge-based programmes (S8.13)
Panel session
The complexity of the societal changes we are experiencing means that universities need to become more strategic and proactive in their third mission: societal outreach. Four European alliances have developed challenge-based programmes, allowing universities’ stakeholders to submit challenges to student teams. This session will highlight how students in these programmes can drive sustainable societal changes.Speakers
Agent Regulation: What have we learnt and what CAN we learn? (S8.16)
Agent Regulation: What have we learnt and what CAN we learn? (S8.16)
Panel session
Agent regulation has become a hot topic in several of the major English-speaking student recruitment destinations. Governments in Canada and Australia, as well as the UK, have or intend to bring in agent regulation to better control some of the practice that’s causing a regular ‘boom and bust’ cycle for universities. This session will look at why regulation has been brought in, how it is being implemented and what lessons those working in non-regulated markets can learn.
Our panellists will discuss three major areas, before inviting discussion from the floor.
1. Agent regulation in the UK – what happened?
2. What are the learnings for European Universities who are in non-regulated markets?
3. Where do we go now – both those regulated and those not regulated?

Should higher education institutions offer the same services to all students, or are separate paths needed? The University of Helsinki and Erasmus University Rotterdam have developed the international student journey to improve students’ experience and sense of belonging and to retain them in the country after graduation. The journey starts before the application and continues after graduation. In this session, we will share the rationale, development and best practices of our trajectories.Speakers

Sustainable initiatives at the conference
At the EAIE we want to contribute to a clean future by choosing whenever possible sustainable and green venues, suppliers and products. The EAIE Conference and Exhibition has an impact on the environment, but this is also where we can make the biggest difference. Here’s what we do to support this goal:
Work with sustainable venues
- MEETT conference venue spans 3 hectares and features 10,700 photovoltaic panels producing enough electricity for 3600 homes annually.
- Its compact architecture minimises environmental impact, earning HQE™ and LEED® NC certifications for sustainable design and operations.
- Waste management includes thorough pre-sorting and recycling, and climate control is powered by an urban heating network from nearby facilities.
Embrace fair trade and sustainable conference items
- Provide biodegradable reusable coffee cups
- Use ecological printing paper
- Encourage reusable water bottles and provide water stations around the venue
- Cooperate with Township, a company that produces the conference tote bag and supports female entrepreneurship in South Africa
Encourage participants to make greener choices
- Promote train travel in our communications with participants
- Offering participants an ‘I travelled green’ sticker, both digitally and in-person to show they chose to travel sustainably.
- Share the #EAIEgreengoals hashtag and encourage participants to use it to spread the word about their own actions.
- Organising a Netwalking activity in collaboration with Champ D’Actions Association where participants spend afternoon of cleaning and trash picking on the banks of the Garonne River in Toulouse.

Our values
We believe that an inclusive and inspiring environment that encourages everyone to collaborate is essential to our daily work. Within the EAIE community of volunteers, members and staff, we are all passionate about what we do and committed to doing it the best we can. Our four values bind that commitment and passion and help guide the delivery of our strategy now and in the future. They also act as a moral compass and set the tone for our responsibilities and accountabilities both as the EAIE and as individuals.
Social responsibility
For 35 years, the EAIE has been committed to creating an ecosystem where fresh ideas and best practices around international education can flourish, striving to make it sustainable and equitable in the process. As our community grows, we aim to lead by example and support international education professionals as best we can, so they, in turn, can enable students to become global citizens and enrich the society in which they choose to live and work.
