Association of University Export Control Officers
The Association of University Export Control Officers or "AUECO" is a member-driven organization whose objective is to advance the export control profession at institutions of higher education by fostering a diverse, collaborative community. AUECO members bolster each other by not only engaging in daily export compliance-based discussions, but also assist in generating developmental programming and enriching training, all while simultaneously advocating for academia and research equities. |
Our next year's annual conference will be held at Rice University from May 12-15, 2025. While membership in AUECO is limited to specific criteria, attendance at the annual conference is open to the public.
