A 6-person committee has been appointed to study the possibility of establishing a more formal relationship with the Comparative and International Education Society (CIES).  Gustavo Fischman, Fernando Reimers, and I will serve as the IAE members on the committee. We intended to meet at the CIES conference in Miami in March, but that was cancelled. Future plans are uncertain, but there is a possibility of a ZOOM meeting sometime in the future.

The 2021 General Assembly will be held at the Max Plank Institute for Human Development in Berlin, Germany. The meeting will be hosted jointly by Jürgen Baumert and Olga Zlatin-Troitschanskaia and will be held between September 29 and October 2. Exact dates will be chosen later. For now, I ask only that you put these dates on your calendar. Fellows attending will have to pay for transportation and lodging. More information will be provided as we get closer to the meeting dates.
