ROUNDTABLE DIALOGUE ON ASEM HIGHER EDUCATION MAPPING: WORKING TOWARDS THE SDGS
The ASEF Regional Conference on Higher Education (ARC) is the Official Dialogue Partner of the ASEM Education Ministers Meeting (ASEMME) and the only bi-regional multi-stakeholder dialogue platform for university and student leaders, policymakers and ministers to discuss higher education issues and shape the education landscape in Asia and Europe.
In 2022, the first year of this biennial project, two studies are conducted in line with the topic of the 9th ASEF Regional Conference on Higher Education (ARC9) – ASEM Higher Education Mapping: Towards Sustainable Development. The ARC9 Roundtable Dialogue will elaborate further on the two studies that gathered evidence and mapped higher education policies and practices that work toward the SDGs in Asia-Europe Meeting (ASEM) partner countries:
Higher Education Policy Perspectives on the SDGs
This study maps the higher education policies advancing sustainable development in ASEM partner countries. This study involves a regional survey and focus group discussions with policymakers from selected ministries and national agencies from over 20 countries in Asia and Europe.
Higher Education Institutional Perspectives on the SDGs
This study is conducted in partnership with the International Association of Universities (IAU). Data from the third iteration of IAU Global Survey on Higher Education and Research for Sustainable Development (HESD) specific for ASEM partner countries were analysed to investigate the scope, depth, and breadth of engagement by ASEM higher education institutions with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Join this roundtable dialogue to learn initial insights of the two studies above.
