1ST ASIA-EUROPE STUDENTS’ FORUM

FOREWORD Hosting the 3RD ASEM Rectors’ Conference is an honour and a privilege for the second oldest university in the Netherlands, the University of Groningen. Since 1614 a strong tradition of research and education is settled in the city of Groningen, which is the cultural, social and economic center of this part of the Netherlands and proud to be known as City of Talent. We are honoured to have been allowed to organise this conference and wish you all a warm welcome. It gives us great pleasure to have our University play host to so many inspiring guests from across Asia and Europe.

The theme of the conference, ‘Universities, Businesses and You: For a Sustainable Future’, could not have been more timely. Universities are facing a huge challenge – how can we contribute to a sustainable society? This is something that must be done together, in all countries.

We bear the heavy responsibility of educating students to become the leaders of the future, leaders who can work in a global society, in a sustainable way. Co-operating universities can contribute significantly in this area. If it was up to me, that is what we’d be concentrating on, even more than we already are. Our aim should be that everyone, wherever they are born in the world, can lead a dignified existence and have the opportunity to develop his or her unique talents. That is the sort of idealism that universities should have.

Co-operation between business and universities means that we have to think about precisely what we are educating students for. An important topic of discussion at this 3RD ASEM Rectors’ Conference is thus the question whether universities should train students directly for business, or that we should educate people for life. I would give the preference to educating people for life, whereby we enable students to play a role in the transition to a sustainable society. It is no coincidence that the University of Groningen has chosen to concentrate on ‘healthy ageing’, ‘energy and sustainability’ and ‘sustainable society’ as three of its strategic priorities.

Co-operation among Asian and European universities is essential to enable students to learn about different cultures and thus develop a global perspective. It is important that Asian students not only go to the United States to study, but also come to Europe. At the same time, an increasing number of European students will hopefully go in the other direction. The University of Groningen has already set up successful co-operation agreements with universities in China, Japan, Indonesia and South Korea. The challenge is to keep searching together for good mechanisms to permanently strengthen the mutual exchange of students.

I sincerely hope that you will not only discover the University during your stay in Groningen, but also the lively and young town – officially recognised as a city as early as 1040! – in which we are firmly settled, and I wish you a very good conference. May the relationships between the Asian and European universities prosper!

PROF. SIBRANDES POPPEMA President, University of Groningen Honorary Consul General of the Republic of Korea 3

WELCOME TO THE UNIVERSITY OF GRONINGEN Our nearly 400-year-old international research university offers excellent conditions for students and staff who have a passion for science and wish to work at the frontiers of knowledge. Recognition from the international academic community continues to grow: the University of Groningen is currently around place 100 in scientific productivity as well as quality according to the major rankings.

Recent surveys have shown that our students and staff also feel that they are studying and working at a top institute. According to the magazines Incompany and Intermediair, we are among the best employers in the Netherlands. The University of Groningen belongs to the top 7 universities in the world of the Scientist’s ’Best Places to Work in Academia 2009’. Moreover, in an independent guide aimed at helping prospective students in the Netherlands choose between universities and their many degree programmes, the University received excellent ratings for a variety of study programmes. Finally, we obtained CHE excellence awards for five of our fields of study.

The University of Groningen has an international outlook and is based in the north of the Netherlands, rooted in the tradition and history of a city which is proud to be known as City of Talent. The University is renowned for its excellent teaching and research in a wide range of academic disciplines. Key strategies include attracting prominent and talented researchers and lecturers from all over the world, irrespective of their gender, rewarding proven performance and stimulating interdisciplinary research and education.

Through research on themes such as ‘healthy ageing’, ‘energy and sustainability’ and ‘sustainable society’ the University of Groningen is contributing to some of the major social issues of the 21st century, using to the full the added value of cooperation with other knowledge institutes, government, industry and citizens in both Europe, Asia and other parts of the world.

We invite you to learn more about us. Not just by reading this text, but also by meeting our talented students and researchers, either in person or in a ‘virtual’ sense through our website and social media. We are active on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and LinkedIn, and would be happy to meet you there. And whenever you have the opportunity to visit Groningen again, we shall certainly be delighted to offer you a warm welcome!

THE ASEM RECTORS’ CONFERENCE The 1ST ASEM Rectors’ Conference (ARC1) was launched in October 2008 (Berlin) as a response to the call made by the ASEM Ministers for education co-operation among ASEM countries. ASEF, as the civil society outreach of the ASEM and interface between the civil society and ASEM governments, organised the ARC1 together with its partners. It was designed to complement the governmental efforts, communicate the opinions and priorities of the university community in both regions and ensure the contributions of the higher education sector to the ministerial meetings.

Chair’s Conclusions, 3RD Asia-Europe Meeting of Ministers for Education, Copenhagen, May 2011.

In May 2009 (Hanoi)1, the ARC process was acknowledged as the official dialogue partner of the ASEM Ministers for Education representing the higher education stakeholders and ASEF was designated as its permanent Secretariat. The 2ND edition of ASEM Rectors’ Conference (ARC2) in 2010 saw the increased engagement of the ASEM higher education community. More countries participated in the process and the Conference recommendations reflected the direct contributions from the Rectors through the establishment of the ARC Advisory Group. In addition, 2 student representatives had the opportunity to interact with the university rectors. These developments resulted to further recognition and support to the stakeholder process.

The 3RD Asia-Europe Meeting of Ministers for Education (ASEMME3, Copenhagen, 9-10 May 2011) “recognised the need to involve stakeholders through the ASEM Rectors’ Conference […] in the ASEM Education Process to achieve a broad consensus on the aims and measures of the Process, and acknowledged the recommendations from the 2ND ASEM Rectors’ Conference”.2

7

THE 3RD ASEM RECTORS’ CONFERENCE (ARC3) Education lies at the heart of economic growth and development. This is captured in the “Europe 2020” strategy proposed by the European Commission in 2010 for reviving the economy of the European Union.

In parallel, the education agenda is reflected in policies and strategies of ASEM member countries in Asia, such as the “Roadmap for an ASEAN Community” by 2015. In times of economic crisis and quickly rising student numbers, however, countries need to develop not only more education, but the right type of skills and research to be more competitive, and to ensure sustainable growth. Unemployment rates, job mismatch and wage differentials are some signs of a disparity between required skills and educational offer.

The 2ND ASEM Rectors’ Conference themed “AsiaEurope University Cooperation: Contributing to the Global Knowledge Society” was convened in Seoul, Korea on 26-27 October 2010.

The ASEMME3 Chair’s Conclusions highlighted four topics: Quality Assurance and Recognition, Engaging Business and Industry in Education, Balanced Mobility and Lifelong Learning (LLL) including Vocational Education and Training (VET).

The role of universities as motors for economic growth had already been underlined by the ARC2, by stimulating entrepreneurship, new business, more incubators for graduates, and bringing talent from underrepresented groups into higher education, among others. In order to meet these objectives, higher education must work closely with all stakeholders involved.

The ARC3 to be co-organised by ASEF with the University of Groningen (RUG) and the ASEAN University Network (AUN) in the Netherlands on 24-28 September 2012 will build on the results of the ARC2 and be informed by the priorities laid out in the 3RD Asia-Europe Meeting of Ministers for Education (ASEMME3) Chair’s Conclusions and other higher education trends and developments.

Since 2008, the ASEM education dialogue has provided impetus for a discourse on university-business co-operation. The 1ST Asia-Europe Meeting of Ministers for Education (ASEMME1, Berlin, May 2008) stated that “close co-operation between education and industry at international, national, regional and local level is a core element for ensuring the employability of the young generation entering the workforce as well as the employability of older generations”. At their 3RD Meeting held in Copenhagen in May 2011, the ASEM Education Ministers invited ASEF to contribute to the ASEM University-Business Forum in order to enhance the dialogue on higher education-business co-operation between stakeholders.

In June 2011, participants to the 2ND Asia-Europe Education Workshop co-organised by ASEF and the University of Innsbruck (UI) agreed that the current debates on the role of universities should not be detached from societal developments. Furthermore, it was recommended that continued exchange, co-operation and promotion of the Universities’ Social Responsibility (USR) agenda be continued within the ASEM education community.

Considering these developments, the ARC3 will focus on two overarching themes: ‘university-business: leaders for a sustainable society’ and ‘universities’ stakeholder engagement’.

8

OBJECTIVES The ARC3 will: 1. Strengthen the stakeholder process and enhance its articulation within the ASEM Education Process; 2. Integrate student participation into the stakeholder process; 3. Contribute actively to enhancing working relations, institutional exchange and co-operation of universities within and between the regions; and 4. Develop recommendations for the upcoming 4th Asia-Europe Meeting of Ministers for Education (Malaysia, 2013) Specifically, the Conference will be a platform to: • Exchange ideas and best practices on university-business cooperation, community engagement and USR models; • Contribute to strengthening collaboration across borders on employment and university-business co-operation; and • Learn about state-of-the-art approaches to teaching creativity and entrepreneurship education.

LAUNCH OF THE 1ST ASIA-EUROPE STUDENTS’ FORUM The plea to hear the voice of the students in the framework of the ARC was taken seriously by the organising partners from the very beginning. Student involvement was part of the first two editions of the ARC. 2012 marks the launch of the 1ST Asia-Europe Students’ Forum specifically dedicated to gather students’ perspectives on the topics to be discussed at the ARC3.

At the Forum themed “Are you Fit for the Future?” students and young graduates who have become professionals or entrepreneurs will perform a reality-check: What are students’ expectations of working life after graduation, what are the experiences of graduates?

Moreover, how does university education contribute to skills learning?

Which skills really matter? And what is and should be the role of stakeholders outside the university? These and more questions will be tackled in this new and lively format within the ARC. OBJECTIVES • To identify institutional measures within the university education that help students to learn the skills for life and for employment; • To discuss how such measures can be improved, adjusted to respond to workplace contexts; and • To analyse if and how community engagement and volunteering/ youth work can contribute to (soft) skills development.

ASEAN UNIVERSITY NETWORK

During the 4th ASEAN Summit in 1992, ASEAN leaders called for the strengthening of the region through the promotion of human resource development and higher education. This aspiration has led to the signing of the Charter of the ASEAN University Network and thus the establishment of ASEAN University Network (AUN) in November 1995 with the AUN Secretariat as the main co-ordinating and monitoring agency established in Bangkok, Thailand. Since its establishment, AUN, the network of leading universities, has been serving as ASEAN’s implementing agency in the field of higher education for the region’s move towards ASEAN Community. The AUN Secretariat serves as co-ordinating and monitoring body. The main functions of the AUN Secretariat cover planning, organising, co-ordinating, monitoring and evaluating AUN programmes and activities. The AUN Secretariat’s tasks also include developing ideas, innovations and proposal for co-operation under AUN as well as to develop plans and mechanisms for sourcing and generating funds for self-reliant and self-sustaining operation of AUN. Currently, AUN comprised 26 Member Universities from 10 ASEAN Member States and undertake more than 30 collaborative projects within ASEAN and with its dialogue partners, such as China, the European Union (EU), Japan and Korea. www.aunsec.org

ABOUT GRONINGEN

Groningen is the main municipality and capital city of the province of Groningen, the north easternmost province of the Netherlands. As the economic and cultural capital of the region, the city enjoys a bustling reputation, while retaining a safe community character.

With a population of around 190,000, it is the largest city in the north of the Netherlands. Groningen is a university city, inhabited on average by about 37,000 students and has the youngest average population in the Netherlands.

Unlike the western part of the country with its densely populated urban areas, the province of Groningen is predominantly rural and quite unspoiled. As is the case in many parts of Holland, a large area of the province lies below sea level, and land was reclaimed here until well into the 19th century. As a result, the coastal area (towards the “Wadden Sea�) offers a limitless view in all directions, well worth a visit by bicycle.

In terms of industry, Groningen has the largest natural gas field in Western Europe and one of the largest worldwide. It also has one of the Netherlands’ largest shipbuilding centres. In addition, Groningen is an international centre for the biomedical and pharmaceutical industry. http://toerisme.groningen.nl/en 31

TRAVEL: GETTING TO GRONINGEN

FROM SCHIPHOL AIRPORT

BY TRAIN If you arrive in the Netherlands via Schiphol, the Amsterdam International Airport, the easiest way to travel to Groningen is to take the train.

The underground train station is located near Schiphol Plaza, within several minutes walking distance from the luggage claim areas. The Dutch railway system is run by Nederlandse Spoorwegen (NS). You will recognise it by its yellow and blue colours. Just follow the yellow illuminated signs that direct you ‘To the trains’.

For more information and schedules: SCHIPHOL: http://www.schiphol.nl/index_en.html NS: http://www.ns.nl/en/travellers/home TRAIN TICKETS It is important that you purchase a train ticket to Groningen before you board the train. Passengers traveling without a valid ticket will be fined.

You can buy either a first-class ticket (€ 39.10 one-way) or a secondclass ticket (€ 23 one-way). There are two ways of purchasing a ticket: at the ticket office where you can purchase a ticket from a railway officer in person, and from the yellow and blue ticket-vending machines that you will find in the luggage claim hall and by every entrance to the train terminal. You can purchase tickets from the machines only by using your credit card or a debit card with the Maestro logo.

TRAIN SCHEDULES A train goes from Schiphol Airport to Groningen twice an hour: one provides a direct connection; the second one is first heading to the city of Enschede, and requires a simple change of trains in Amersfoort, to the train to Groningen. In both cases, make sure that you board one of the carriages marked with the destination Groningen as the other part of the train may travel to Leeuwarden (which is ~70 km away to the west).

The journey from Schiphol Airport takes approximately 2.5 hours. The trains are quite comfortable and feature the free wireless internet at most of them. However, there is no form of refreshment service on the train so be sure to purchase your snack at Schiphol.

BEAUTY OF GRONINGEN TOUR Thursday 27 September, 9.30-15.00

The “Paterswoldse Meer” is a charming lake, a gift for those who love culture, nature and water; a perfect place for aquatic sports such as sailing or surfing, with shores that offer many a scenic route to cyclists and walkers. For those who love to watch the scenery while having a drink or enjoying a meal, there is a fine choice of restaurants. After a relaxing boat trip, we will have dinner at Restaurant Buitensocieteit Paterswolde, a 19th century residence that was fully renovated a few years ago and has regained its former splendour. A perfect place for a perfect evening.

In the old days, the river Reitdiep connected the City of Groningen to the sea. The many small medieval villages and hamlets along the river are all special in their own way.

One of these nostalgic villages is Garnwerd. With its old mill, its historic church and its beautiful riverside inn (café Hammingh), Garnwerd is the destination of many town inhabitants enjoying a summer tour by bike.

Meeting Point: Academy Building

This Beauty of Groningen Province Tour will give you an idea of the history of the province of Groningen. Imagine what life must have been for the many monks and farmers who, from the early Middle Ages onwards, defended the land against the rising tide and the salt that came with it!
