  11. External Relations: Materialization Common Views and Goals Support Faculty Staff Communication Communication VP External Relations

  12. External Relations: Materialization • Reform and streamlining of promotion activities from “responsibilities by countries” to “responsibilities by partner and relation types” • Prioritization of activities and areas

  13. AIT and the World Top International Universities Top Regional Universities AIT Top Regional Universities Top National Universities Global Competition in Educational Services

  14. Direction and Strategies • One of the main objectives of AIT is a paradox by itself: strengthening national universities so that AIT’s existence is no longer required. • If that objective has been achieved, then a new AIT must be created for it to exist.

  15. Direction and Strategies • How to re-create AIT? (re-brand is not enough) • How to re-position AIT? • What is AIT’s niche?

  16. Direction and Strategies “AIT is an Advanced International Graduate School in Engineering, Technology and Management aiming to solve Down-to-Earth problems in region.” Advanced ↔ Down-to-Earth

  17. Direction and Strategies • It might be difficult for individual faculty members to carry out both advanced and down-to-earth research. • But groups of them, possibly together with outsiders, might be able to do.

  18. Conclusion • I am definitely confident in the future of AIT • Although many challenges lie ahead, with your support I know I can tackle them. I know what I am going to do. • Last but not least, I have enough humors for good interaction with partners.

  19. Thank You

  20. Partnership with Contributing Countries • Conventional Relationship • Donating Governments -> Scholarships -> AIT -> Students • New Relationship • AIT as Hub of “ASEAN Universities” in order to promote intra-ASEAN research and education.

  21. Servicing Sponsoring Countries • Execution of training, projects, policy research, management planning, etc. for target countries with financial support from sponsoring governments

  22. Collaboration with Universities/Research Institutes • Establishment of new joint specialized study programs at AIT with top international or regional universities and research institutes • Dual degree programs • Joint research • Exchange of faculty andstudents

  23. Partnership with Alumni • Co-organization of technical seminars/workshops with AITAA National Chapters • AITAA National Chapters as agents to help recruit good students

  24. Close/Frequent Contact with General Public • Regular supply of technical articles/information to local, regional and international media • Application of blogs for wider and interactive contributions of information
