The conference theme this year is "Empowering Education Through Research.” For more than two decades, SEAAIR has been known for its steadfastness in organizing annual conferences, providing a valuable platform for institutional research practitioners, scholarly researchers, and higher education decision-makers from Southeast Asia to come together, share their research findings, and learn from each other's experiences.
With multiple themes being covered, the conference will delve into SEAAIR's immense potential in generating value and explore opportunities from various perspectives, including Oversights and Governance of Education Through Research; Enhanced Educational Practices and Pedagogies Through Research; Quality Assurance of Research-enabled Education; Systems & Technologies Underpinning Research Towards Education Vision; Research-enriched STEM, Arts and Humanities, Technical & Vocational, Special Needs; and Early Childhood Education.
