Penn Lauder CIBER

Penn Lauder CIBER was established at the University of Pennsylvania in October 2002.

The Lauder Institute is the institutional home of Penn Lauder CIBER, a program funded by the U.S. Department of Education to establish Centers for International Business Education and Research (CIBERs) at leading universities across the United States. The program was created initially under the Omnibus Trade and Competitiveness Act of 1988 in order to increase and promote the nation's capacity for international understanding and economic enterprise. Administered by the U.S. Department of Education under Title VI Part B, of the Higher Education Act, the CIBER program links the manpower and information needs of U.S. business with the international education, language-training, and research capacities of universities across the United States. As of the most recent funding cycle, thirty-one universities have been awarded CIBER grants to serve as regional and national resources to business, students, and academics. Together, these CIBERs form a powerful network focused on improving American competitiveness and providing comprehensive service and programs aimed at helping U.S. business succeed in global markets.
