About “Presidents’ Forum of Southeast Asia and Taiwan Universities”

As the Southeast Asian region has been facing critical challenges in its economic, societal, and political sectors, there has been a need to gather experts and educators to exchange ideas and face shared challenges. The excellence of universities is an important key to enhancing a nation’s competitiveness. Therefore, President Chiang Kao of the National Cheng Kung University (NCKU), Taiwan, together with the Presidents of prestigious universities of Southeast Asian countries initiated the “Presidents’ Forum of Southeast Asia and Taiwan Universities” (abbreviated as SATU Presidents’ Forum) in the year 2003. This forum provides a venue for academics to share their valuable experiences to improve higher education and international cooperation in the region. The International Secretariat of the SATU Presidents’ Forum, which includes the two subsections named Academic Exchange Subcommittee and Industry-Academia Collaboration Subcommittee, has been established at NCKU to coordinate and promote the related activities.
