In line with the Asia-Europe Foundation (ASEF)’s mission, ASEF InnoLab, in partnership with Fudan University, a member of the Association of Pacific Rim Universities (APRU), creates opportunities for higher education managers from Asia and Europe to meet, learn from each other, and build capacity to address common global challenges together. Managers of higher education are in a unique position to transform and modernize their higher education institutions by introducing tech-savvy, inclusive and sustainable policies.
“Thanks to the variety of insights from mentors and presenters, I believe, I have strengthened my faculty development strategy, added an action plan, and I have received proper keywords and tools to gain unnecessary support from the management.”
“The most valuable aspect from this type of InnoLabs are the networks, and possibilities to expand the networks in other countries and other business sectors.”
