ASEANUNIVERSITYNETWORK

AUN Member Universities

Background At the Fourth ASEAN Summit, the ASEAN leaders directed that ASEAN should help hasten the solidarity and the development of a regional identity by considering ways to further strengthen the existing network of the leading universities and institutions of higher learning in the region. The idea was later developed into ASEAN University Network (AUN) which was established in November 1995 with the signing of its Charter by the Ministers responsible for Higher Education from ASEAN countries, the signing of the Agreement on the Establishment of the AUN by the presidents/rectors/ vice-chancellors of participating universities and the formation of AUN Board of Trustees.

Objectives The main objective of the AUN is to strengthen the existing network of co-operation among leading universities in ASEAN, by promoting co-operation and solidarity among ASEAN scholars and academics , developing academic and professional human resources, and promoting information dissemination among ASEAN academic community. Indeed, the network has galvanised the individual ASEAN countries’ quests for academic collaboration in collectively defined priority areas that would deepen understanding of the dynamic of ASEAN, and thereby accelerate the development of regional identity and solidarity.
