Asian society has become highly specialized and diversified. The general education for the ordinary citizen cannot satisfy the need for welfare and development. Universities have to take an active role in training leaders. The university has to reflect the educational environment and cultivate talents. The leaders from Asian universities will lend their experiences and opinions to discuss the policies of the universities of the future.
