The International Research & Exchanges Board (IREX) is an international, nonprofit organization that specializes in global education and development. IREX works with partners in more than 100 countries.[4]

History[edit]

IREX was established in 1968 by the American Council of Learned Societies, the Ford Foundation, the Social Science Research Council, and the US Department of State.[5][6][7] IREX conducted scholarly exchanges between the US and the Soviet Union until the fall of the Iron Curtain.[5]

After the collapse of the Soviet Union, IREX implemented projects to support democratic reforms and strengthen organizations.[8] IREX administered programs to conduct educational exchanges, strengthen civil society in developing countries, increase internet access, and provide training and support to journalists and media organizations.[9][10][11]

Activities[edit]

IREX designs and implements programs that focus on civil society, education, gender, governance, leadership, media, technology, and youth.[12]

These programs include the Mandela Washington Fellowship for Young African Leaders,[13][14] the World Smarts STEM Challenge,[15][16] and Learn to Discern, which has been discussed for its approach to helping citizens recognize disinformation and fake news.[17][18][19]
