Why We Are Here

#
“The Fourth Meeting of ASEAN Heads of Government held in 1992 emphasized the need to hasten the development of a regional identity and solidarity, and promote human resources development by considering ways to strengthen the existing network of leading universities and institutions of higher learning in the ASEAN region with a view to ultimately establishing an ASEAN University based on this expanded network.” - Preamble to the Charter of the ASEAN University Network (1995)

Membership

Our membership act as specialized areas of academic cooperation that are deemed significant enough for a new secretariat to be established to tackle it.

Thematic Networks

#
Thematic Networks act as specialized areas of academic cooperation that are deemed significant enough for a new secretariat to be established to tackle it. Each thematic network is given relatively high autonomy to pursue their own areas of higher education in ASEAN, whether it is focused on innovation or economics. They also benefit from being part of the AUN, being able to access a platform of collaboration between the AUN Secretariat, member universities, and other thematic networks.

ASEAN+3 University Network

#
The ASEAN+3 University Network (ASEAN+3 UNet), established in November 2012, acts as a sister network to the ASEAN University Network.

Global Engagement

#
As a conduit for cooperation, the AUN has worked with many organizations from across the globe that wish to work with the very best ASEAN universities. Not only that, the AUN also acts as a united front for these universities when looking to work with organizations in Europe, East Asia, Australia, and beyond. Below is a list of AUN partners split into regions based on where the organization is hosted.

AUN Strategic Focus
