Since 2008, the ASEM education dialogue has provided impetus for a discourse on university-business cooperation. The 1st Asia-Europe Meeting of Ministers for Education (ASEMME1, Berlin, May 2008) stated that “close cooperation between education and industry at international, national, regional and local level is a core element for ensuring the employability of the young generation entering the workforce as well as the employability of older generations.” In March 2010, the 1st ASEM University-Business Forum was convened in Thailand.
At their 3rd Meeting held in Copenhagen in May 2011, the ASEM Education Ministers invited the ASEF to contribute to the ASEM University-Business Forum (Chair’s Conclusions), in order to enhance the dialogue on higher education-business cooperation between stakeholders. In response, ASEF will focus the 3rd Asia-Europe Education Workshop (2012) on the broad topic of ‘university-business cooperation’.
Please continue to visit www.asef.org for further updates about the Workshop.
ASEF's contribution is with the financial support of the European Commission.

Thank you for your interest in the 3rd Asia Education Workshop. We wish to inform you, however, that ASEF, in consultation with Siam University (Thailand), has decided to reschedule the organisation of the Workshop from 2012 to 2013. It will then serve as a venue to follow up on the discussions at the 3rd ASEM Rectors’ Conference (Groningen, September 2012).
We are at your disposal for any question or clarification you may have.

The Siam University of Thailand has been selected as host and co-organiser of the 3rd Asia-Europe Education Workshop tentatively titled “Reality-check: What really matters?”
Planned to take place in the first half of 2012, the 2 ½-day Workshop will tackle university-business cooperation from the perspectives of young entrepreneurs and professionals by asking them about their experience on education and training and the transition to the labour market.
We wish to thank the universities and institutions who responded to the Call. Please continue to visit www.asef.org for further updates about the Workshop.
