From 3 to 5 November 2026, Aizada Sarina, Head of the Office of International Rankings at ALT University, participated in the QS Higher Ed Summit: Asia Pacific 2026, held at the Bali International Convention Centre (BICC) in Indonesia.
The event brought together more than 1,000 university leaders, government representatives, international organisations and higher education experts from across the Asia-Pacific region and beyond. The Summit was held under the theme “Advancing Education for Purpose and Impact.”
During the programme, participants discussed the internationalisation of higher education, the application of artificial intelligence and digital technologies, the preparation of graduates for the demands of the modern labour market, the advancement of research and the strengthening of cross-border academic cooperation.
Participation in the Summit provided an opportunity to explore current international approaches to the strategic development and quality assurance of higher education, exchange experience with representatives of international universities and discuss prospects for expanding ALT University’s international partnerships.
“Participation in the QS Higher Ed Summit provided a valuable opportunity to learn from the leading practices of universities across the Asia-Pacific region and discuss contemporary approaches to strategic development, quality assurance and enhancing the international competitiveness of higher education institutions. The knowledge gained and professional connections established will contribute to our continued efforts to strengthen ALT University’s position in the international higher education landscape,” said Aizada Sarina.
The Summit was organised by the international higher education analytics and ranking organisation QS Quacquarelli Symonds. BINUS University served as the host institution, with Universitas Padjadjaran and The Education University of Hong Kong acting as co-hosts.
