APAIE2017 in Kaohsiung, Taiwan

As part of its ongoing initiative to increase Gunma University’s presence and involvement in the world of international education, representatives of the Gunma University International Center (GUIC) took part in the Asia-Pacific Association for International Education (APAIE) 2017 Annual Conference and Exhibition held in Kaohsiung, Taiwan from March 20-23, 2017.

For Gunma University, this was only the second time to take part in an APAIE conference following last year’s first time event in Melbourne, Australia. The APAIE 2017 conference held in Taiwan’s southernmost city of Kaohsiung, proved to be a very important occasion to come into contact with partner and potential partner universities representing a variety of countries and study destinations located both inside and outside the Asian region.

As a result of its participation in the APAIE 2017 conference, Gunma University was provided with a wonderful opportunity to exchange greetings and information regarding ongoing and future programs with a large number of established as well as potentially new university partners. The event also proved to be an excellent forum in which to explore, inquire and learn about the newest trends and developments in the field of international education.

Unlike other international conferences such as the European Association for International Education (EAIE) and the Association of International Educators (NAFSA), which are known to attract thousands of participants, the APAIE conference is a relatively new event that is continuing to attract attention and interest. With a level of participation over 1,600 attendees this year, future APAIE conferences hold great potential to become one of the major events for international education worldwide. For this reason, Gunma University looks forward to participating in this important networking event again in the future.
