AppliedHE Xchange 2025 @ Sunway University is in full swing!

Following an energising opening yesterday, we’re thrilled to continue bringing together higher education leaders, innovators, and changemakers who are shaping the future of learning, skills, and employability across Asia and beyond.

Guided by the theme “Together for Tomorrow: Excellence, Engagement, Evolution - Celebrating Leadership and Ranking Excellence,” Xchange 2025 is all about turning insights into action: strengthening teaching & learning, deepening stakeholder engagement, and rethinking how universities prepare graduates for the real world.

A key highlight of this year’s Xchange is the launch of the AppliedHE Public & Private University Rankings: ALL ASIA 2026 - a distinctive benchmark that separately recognises public and private institutions, and shines a spotlight on academic excellence, research impact, graduate employability, internationalisation, and community engagement.

A warm thank you to Sunway University for hosting and partnering with us to create a space for meaningful conversations and impactful collaborations.

Here’s to the continuing journey together for tomorrow.

✨ A wonderful start to the first day at in Gothenburg!

It was truly energizing to reconnect with so many old friends and to meet new colleagues from across the globe. The venue is buzzing with activity, and Gothenburg itself is such a beautiful and welcoming city.

I had the pleasure of catching up with friends from Vietnam’s Van Lang University, reconnecting with colleagues from Korea, Taiwan, and Hong Kong, and of course, visiting our great neighbors at the Malaysia Pavilion.

It’s been a busy and inspiring first day - filled with conversations that remind me why global engagement and collaboration are at the heart of what we do at AppliedHE.

Looking forward to more meaningful exchanges in the coming days!

One of the most exciting and well-received moments at AppliedHE Xchange: UNS @ Bali 2025 was the signing of 21 MOUs between universities and institutions from across the globe. These agreements, signed between Universitas Universitas Sebelas Maret and partner institutions, symbolize collaboration, innovation, and a shared commitment to advancing higher education.

Who Signed? From Malaysia, Indonesia, the Philippines, and South Africa, institutions came together to forge partnerships that will drive academic exchange, research collaborations, student mobility, and industry engagement.

But Signing an MOU is Just the Beginning! MOUs should not be trophies that sit on shelves gathering dust! A signed document is only as powerful as the actions that follow. These partnerships must be activated—not left to collect dust. Now is the time for universities to engage, collaborate, and bring these agreements to life through joint research projects, faculty exchanges, student programs, and industry partnerships.

A Big Thank You! To all the universities and institutions that signed MOUs, your commitment to international collaboration is truly inspiring. Let's turn these agreements into impactful initiatives that benefit students, educators, and industries alike.

Let’s take this momentum forward and make a real difference!

We walk the talk! While others keep telling universities what they ‘should’ do, we take real action. At AppliedHE, we don’t just talk about change—we make it happen!

• Sunway University (Malaysia)
• Maritime Academy of Asia and the Pacific (Philippines)
