Hosted by The Chinese University of Hong Kong as part of its golden jubilee celebration, the annual Asia-Pacific Association for International Education (APAIE) Conference and Exhibition was being held for the first time in Hong Kong. CUHK is hosting the largest ever international education conference in the region from 11 March to 14 March 2013 at the AsiaWorld-Expo, bringing the territory into the spotlight in the global education arena. Some 1,200 educators, policy-makers and experts from 46 countries and regions gathered in Hong Kong to discuss the latest initiatives in international higher education and over 150 exhibition booths from different education institutions were set up to showcase the higher education landscape in different parts of the world.
Driven by the changing political, social and economic landscape of the Asia-Pacific region, higher education institutions in the region have been increasingly embracing international education as their strategic mission. Themed 'An Ascendant Asia-Pacific: International Higher Education in the 21st Century', the 4-day conference looked at the challenges and opportunities for institutions inside and outside the region in view of this transformation. The event featured two keynotes, some 50 parallel sessions, a large-scale exhibition, a Presidents' Roundtable, a Global Dialogue, and visits to local universities.
