The Asia-Pacific is not a region to observe from a distance: It is where many of today’s global challenges are unfolding in real time. 🌏 With its new mandate as Leading House Asia Pacific, UZH is helping Swiss higher education and public research institutions connect with one of the world’s most dynamic research regions. 💬 The interview with Sau Kim Lum from the National University of Singapore and UZH historian Martin Dusinberre highlights what meaningful collaboration needs: presence in the region, trust built over time and openness to different languages, disciplines and ways of knowing. 🤝 They advocate for deep, resilient networks that bring complementary expertise together to tackle shared challenges, from climate change and health to urban sustainability and digital transformation. 💡 The new Leading House mandate hosted at UZH will support partnerships across the region, including Australia, New Zealand, Japan, South Korea, China and ASEAN member states. 👉 Read the full interview: https://lnkd.in/eZKpEzpi #UZH #UniversityofZurich #LeadingHouseAsiaPacific #HigherEducation
