About the Forum

   While the Republic of Korea has undeniably been an appealing partner for
   student mobility and research collaboration for Australia, there exists
   significant potential for even deeper cooperation within the higher education
   sector.

   The primary objective of the 2024 Australia-Korea Higher Education Forum
   is to foster dynamic and mutually beneficial collaboration between
   Australian and Korean institutions. This initiative aims to share information,     
   promote research collaboration and excellence and to strengthen
   institutional partnerships between Australia and Korea.

   The Korean Ministry of Education has recently implemented new policy
   changes in Higher Education that gives authority to Local Governments to
   proactively work with their local Universities and Industry to develop and
   deliver strategic investments aligned with regional growth. This new policy
   is supported by significant funding and a clear focus on increasing
   international engagement – including in research collaboration and student
   mobility.  Australia is very well placed to partner with Korean Universities to
   maximise the new opportunities available for both countries.

   The 2024 Australia-Korea Higher Education Forum recognizes
   the importance of aligning higher education practices with contemporary
   needs, technological advancements, and the evolving demands of the job
   market. In the ever-evolving landscape of global education, both Australia
   and Korea aim to create resilient and adaptable higher education
   frameworks that meet the aspirations of students and industry and to also
   contribute to deeper understanding and engagement between both nations.
