The Standing Conference of Presidents (SCOP) is a body of policy level decision makers from ICDE member institutions and co-operating organizations.
 |
The annual Standing Conference of Presidents meeting provides a unique opportunity for Rectors, Presidents, and Chief Executive Officers of open and distance education universities from around the world to meet to exchange information, share expertise, establish benchmarks, and determine advocacy directions. The meetings are entirely confidential, in camera meetings affording institutional executive leaders the opportunity to speak freely in a peer-to-peer environment on a wide range of critical and extraordinarily sensitive subjects.

SCOP gives unique access to transnational and global views and to invaluable and detailed information about policy, strategic thinking and development in open and distance education around the world. It offers strong opportunities for exploring partnerships and strategic cooperation with other ICDE member institutions from around the world. It also offers opportunities to participate in setting the international priorities and agenda for the future of open and distance education.
