Building Competitive Advantage for Maryland and the United States

The Center for International Business Education and Research (CIBER) at the Robert H. Smith School of Business and the University of Maryland is designed to be a national resource center for teaching, research and outreach in international business and related fields. The Smith CIBER was established on July 1, 2006 with a $1.42 million, four-year grant from the U.S. Department of Education and 100% matching funds from the Smith School and University of Maryland.

The overarching purpose of the CIBER Program is to enhance the international competitiveness of American business. The specific initiatives being (and to be) undertaken by the Smith CIBER deal with critical competitive issues of national, regional and local significance - all with the singular aim of strengthening the international competitiveness of United States business.

By integrating the Smith School's and University of Maryland's extensive international resources with those of the National Capital Area institutions and organizations, and utilizing cutting-edge technology and partnerships, Smith CIBER aims to serve all our key constituencies - students, faculty, business and government, and higher education - and thus help achieve the CIBER mission.
