As the Southeast Asian region is facing critical challenges in economic, societal,
and politic structures, there is a need to gather experts and educators to exchange
ideas and face shared challenges. The excellence of universities is an important
key to enhance a nation's competitiveness. Therefore, for former President Chiang

universities of Southeast Asian countries, initiated the "Presidents' Forum of Southeast
Asia and Taiwan Universities" (abbreviated as SATU Presidents' Forum) to provide
a venue for academics to share their valuable experiences to improve higher education
and international cooperation in the region.
