Strategic Research Partnerships
Alliance of Asian Liberal Arts Universities (AALAU), established in November 2017, is a network of respectable liberal arts universities in Asia. All AALAU members share common values, a global vision and a commitment to educating future leaders. Central to these values is the importance of liberal arts education in this era driven by innovation. Liberal arts education emphasises the breadth of knowledge, critical thinking and creativity, an ability to deal with novel problems and a love of learning. We believe that this type of education is conducive to training future leaders for a rapidly changing world. Members of the Alliance including major liberal arts universities in Asia, deal with rapid changes in the education landscape by identifying future challenges, sharing best practices, and collaborating among themselves and beyond. HSUHK is one of the members.
