APRU：The Association of Pacific Rim Universities

APRU

The Association of Pacific Rim Universities （APRU) (External Link) is a consortium of 37 leading research universities of the sixteen countries and areas of Pacific Rim region. The organization was founded in 1997 with the objective of enhancing education and research cooperation and service relating to crucial issues of the Pacific Rim (such as economic development, urbanization, technology transfer, air pollution and the exhaustion of resources).

As one of the founding members of APRU, Kyoto University has been actively engaged in a variety of activities with the organization. There are five Japanese member universities in total (the others are Keio University, Osaka University, the University of Tokyo and Waseda University). The current chair university is the University of Sydney and the current secretariat is the National University of Singapore.
