What does it take to achieve academic mobility at a massive, international scale? No matter the answer, CALOHEA is determined to achieve the goal of developing a large-scale student exchange and academic mobility in Asia. The National Meetings will bring together experts, university staff, and even students to enlighten each other with good practices, sharing experiences, and understand the 3 Recognition Mechanisms that will pave the way towards the ultimate qualifications framework for each nation that will take student and academic mobility in Asia to the next level. With sufficient time passing since NMs have begun earlier this year, the 8th CALOHEA NM from the 10th and 11th of August at Universitas Hasanuddin (UNHAS) has shown the successful outputs of CALOHEA becoming more apparent with UNHAS demonstrating curriculum improvements with a dedicated focus on student workload calculation.
ASEAN Universities’ Library Innovations Showcased at the AUNILO MeetingAcademic librarians in the AUN are facing a time of change and challenge. With budgets tight, digital transformation is on the horizon, collaboration is key. As each country’s report unfolds, from Brunei’s collaborative empowerment to Vietnam’s technology-driven resource management, a coordination of resilience emerges. But the future remains a tantalizing enigma, fraught with questions of technology adoption, student-centricity, and skill upgradation. With libraries at the forefront of learning evolution, a pivotal question lingers: Will these esteemed institutions of higher education embrace and utilize the forces of change, or will they find themselves overcome by the currents of transformation? Take a closer look at a captivating journey through their experiences, delving into the crucial role of libraries as fundamental pillars driving educational transformation on both a global and regional level.By Gaetan Guichard Sutthanunt, AUN Programme Officer

“Health is a state of body. Wellness is a state of being.” – J. StandordHuman spends a large proportion of their time indoors. A causal relationship exists between the indoor environment and human health (Boubekri, 2008). Architecture can impact human health, happiness, and physiological function (St-Jean et al., 2022). The architecture design should serve the user’s individual and collective needs, protect the health, and encourage well-being. It is essential to seek a holistic understanding of the impact of architecture on human health and well-being.Architectural design features, including color, light, complexity, and viewing nature, influence human behavior, health, happiness, and physiological function in many ways (St-Jean et al., 2022) and can have long-term implications for our quality of life. Architectural design should thus be responsive to user needs, inspire, motivate, give meaning, and be spirit caring.Important Dates📍EB registration deadline : 20 September 2023📍Full Paper submission extended deadline : 6 September 2023📍Paper accepted announcement : 15 September 2023📍Conference Day : 19 – 20 October 2023Please check our website for more details and paper submission : https://5thicea.petra.ac.id/conference 🌐
