How We Help
One of SEAMEO RIHED’s objectives is to serve as a hub for higher education information dissemination with a focus on policy research. In line with this, and to assist higher education decision-making in a rapidly evolving and globally competitive environment, SEAMEO RIHED aims to promote and undertake policy research to support higher education development in the region, ensure effective dissemination of knowledge and information through policy briefs, and create, support, and maintain a sustainable research ecosystem in the region through its networks. In addition, RIHED's Inter-Regional Research Symposium can continue to facilitate further opportunities for joint-research and innovation, while the development of RIHED's Knowledge and Information Hub will serve to share relevant information and trends on higher education and development for the SEAMEO Region.
Inter-Regional Research Symposium
In 2019, the first RIHED Inter-Regional Research Symposium was held and explored the current state and future directions of higher education in the areas of inclusive and accessible quality education, entrepreneurship and employability, digitalization, and internationalization and cross-border higher education.
The Symposium is open to participants of the Asia-Pacific region and other regions of the world interested in gaining new perspectives and knowledge as well as those who want to share their original research and recent findings. The Research Symposium aims to contribute to the current body of analytical work dealing with sustainable development and higher education.
