The Asian Universities Alliance (AUA) was established in April 2017 by fifteen representative universities in Asia. This publication, the first of the AUA annual series entitled Asian Higher Education Outlook (AHEO), is dedicated to the faculty, administrators, and students who have been instrumental in the development of higher education in Asia. AHEO is a public report designed to articulate the development of higher education in Asia and showcase experiences and best practices of AUA members. The 2018 AHEO Report explores the nature of the creation and direction of the AUA. It offers a preliminary analysis of the key themes in the landscape of Asian higher education development in recent years. The themes encompass massification of teaching, internationalization, local-to-global engagement, innovation and entrepreneurship, and development in higher education studies.
