The 21st Century is frequently forecast to be the Asian Century.  The term is usually understood with reference to the rapid growth of the economies of China and India, and the increasing influence it affords them in international affairs.

What is less salient to many is the growing academic power of Asia.  At our July event, Tayyeb Shah will explore academic relations between Australia and Asia. Tayyeb will also discuss the potential consequences of the COVID19 virus for the Australian tertiary education sector and possible responses to them. 

Tayyeb Shah is Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Global Partnerships) at The University of Western Australia. Learn more about Tayeb here
