APRU recognizes that its activities can be powerful catalysts for expanding educational,
economic and technological cooperation among the Pacific Rim economies. The association
seeks to promote dialogue and collaboration between academic institutions in Pacific
Rim economies so that they can become effective players in the global knowledge
economy. For a list of APRU activities please visit the APRU website.
Beyond collegial and collaborative exchanges, APRU's strategic initiatives aim to
develop strategically-focused programs. The APRU World Institute (AWI)
was established in 2006 as a platform where leading researchers, policy advisors
and business executives from APRU members and other invited institutions could transcend
national borders to address issues of regional and global concern.
Focusing on critical issues such as Climate Change, Public Health, and Economic
Integration, the AWI workshops provide unique opportunities for international multidisciplinary
experts to explore ways in which APRU universities could better respond to education
and training, research and development, and policy formulation requirements in those
issues. For more information about AWI, its members, and associated activities and
workshops, please visit the AWI
website.
