Prince of Songkla University is proud to announce that the 29th ASEAN University Network (AUN) Board of Trustees Meeting, held on 4-5 July 2013 in Yangon, Myanmar, accepted our university as a new member of AUN.

ASEAN University Network (AUN) is an Asian university association founded in November 1995 by ASEAN member countries. AUN focuses on sharing knowledge and experiences, student and staff exchange, collaborative activities with programs such as joint curriculum development, cooperation in ICT, and the establishment of sub-networks. Currently, AUN has 30 university members from the 10 ASEAN countries, including five Thai universities.

As a first activity under the umbrella of AUN, PSU representatives participated in The 4th ASEAN+3 Heads of International Relations Meeting 2013, held at Kyoto University, Japan, from August 22-23, 2013. The title of this meeting was Activating Sustainable Collaboration under ASEAN+3 UNet: Meeting the Growing Demands of Student Mobility in East Asian Region. The aims of the meeting were: to intensify and expand current cross-border collaborative activities among the members of "ASEAN+3 University Network" in the areas of student exchange programs (Summer school, Short visit), credit transfers and quality assurance (QA) practices; and to enhance student mobility under ASEAN+3 UNet.

Being a member of AUN will allow our university to work with all other members of this network, in order to develop more exchange programs, and to participate to the ASEAN educational progress.
