The Asia Institute was founded in 2006 by connecting the four key sectors of society (private, public, not-for- profit and education) through a partnership network with a mission to build the leading education platform connecting Asia with the rest of the world. Over the past nearly twenty years, the Asia Institute has worked with over 6,000 students and faculty, and has quickly become a leading host partner for many educational institutions in areas such as short-term programs, experiential learning, and career development.
