Internationalization of Higher Education in Asia & Pacific: Current Trends and Future Scenarios

This is a joint webinar from the International Association of Universities and the Asia-Pacific Association for International Education (APAIE).

The Asia-Pacific region boasts the largest higher education sector in the world, with over one-third of all higher education institutions (HEIs) located here. However, despite its size, the region’s voice in internationalization has yet to achieve the prominence it deserves on the global stage. This is evident from the low participation of HEIs from Asia Pacific in the 6th IAU Global Survey on internationalization. Understanding how internationalization is perceived and evolving in this diverse and dynamic region is crucial.
