Established in 2008, the ASEF Rectors’ Conference and Students’ Forum (ARC) is a multi-stakeholder dialogue platform for university leaders, policy makers and student leaders to discuss higher education issues and shape the education landscape in Asia and Europe.
ARC is a biennial conference, with locations alternating between Asia and Europe.
The conference aims to address 3 key areas in higher education: 1) quality and inclusive education, 2) university governance, and 3) university-business partnerships.
To date, over 650 university leaders representing 226 universities from 51 Asian and European countries have participated in the conferences.
