The participants of the 2nd Asia-Europe Education Workshop advocated for a continuous dialogue and exchange on University Social Responsibility (USR) while making a plea that education targets include social criteria and social dimension be reflected in teaching and learning processes, research frameworks and quality assurance standards.
In line with this, participants of the 3rd ASEM Rectors’ Conference (ARC3) called upon their fellow university leaders to co-operate with other stakeholders at community, local, regional or (inter-) national level in order to strengthen universities’ role in providing education not only for the workplace but for social cohesion, intercultural dialogue as well as active and global citizenship.
Based on these recommendations, and in co-operation with Siam University, ASEF organised the 3rd Asia-Europe Education Workshop themed Beyond the Academic Yardstick: the Societal Excellence of Education.
