The Academic Cooperation Association (ACA) is a membership organisation comprised of national-level organisations which promote and fund the internationalisation of higher education.
ACA serves as a think tank on issues of internationalisation and innovation in higher education, and it is a platform for mutual learning, the exchange of good practice, joint projects and activities, and for advocating the members’ interests vis-à-vis the European institutions and national governments. The association prioritises five horizontal themes that cut across members’ core activitie:
- The role of higher education cooperation in times of crisis – science and education diplomacy;
- Societal relevance of internationalisation;
- Supporting inclusive and diverse internationalisation;
- Sustained digitalisation of international education formats and activities; and
- Future-oriented institutional transformations.
