The Inter-American Open University was convened by the National Interuniversity Council (CIN) to participate in the " First Higher Education China Fair" , which took place in the Faculty of Economic Sciences of the University of Buenos Aires.

23 universities in the People's Republic of China attended the Fair, among which are the La Beihang University; Beijing Language and Culture University; Central China Normal University; Peking University; Wuhan Institute of Physical Education (WIPE) , among others.

The organization of the Fair was in charge of the Scholarship Council of China, the National Interuniversity Council, the University of Buenos Aires, CLEPEC and ADEBAC, with the support of the Ministries of Education of both countries.

The event allowed Argentine students to get to know the Chinese higher education system and explore opportunities for study in that country and scholarships through the Scholarship Council of China . On the other hand, the Houses of Higher Studies of Argentina invited to this event, had the opportunity to develop bilateral meetings with Argentine universities for the search of interuniversity cooperation and former fellows shared the experience of their passage through the distant Asian country.
