Council of ASEAN Professors in Korea - CAPK

CAPK President, Prof. Diane Rozells, presented the council's objectives and accomplishments during the 4th HEAT Scholar's Networking Event at Novotel, Seoul, last February 26, 2025. Board Vice-Chairman, Prof. Sira Maliphol, and Public Relations Officer, Jennifer Hinlo, were also present to support the event.

The Korean Council for University Education (KCUE) organized the event with the ASEAN-Korea Cooperation Fund (AKCF). The Higher Education for ASEAN Talent (HEAT) Program is managed by KCUE and funded by AKCF.

CAPK members and HEAT scholars received their graduation awards on this occasion. This event allowed us to network and promote CAPK, and its membership benefits, to ASEAN professors.
