In these times of global health crisis due to COVID-19, IAU wishes to show its solidarity and support to the higher education community by offering free access to the advanced search function of the World Higher Education Database ^[1] and the International Bibliographic Database on Higher Education ^[2] which are normally reserved to IAU Members only, until the end of August 2020.
