Purpose, Key Issues, EDNET and Desired Outcomes
Researcher mobility among APEC Economies
Purpose of the workshop APEC Researcher Mobility Workshop
To expand regional and global education and research linkages
To promote cross border education cooperation
To enhance education, research and industry links
To identify priorities for working together to enhance
research cooperation, including researcher mobility
across the Asia Pacific
Key issues APEC Researcher Mobility Workshop
Research cooperation contributes APEC’s economic and social development
Researcher mobility contributes to innovation through
collaborative networks stimulating new ideas
Research is becoming more internationalised with
low cost telecommunications and air travel to
collaborate and share research infrastructure
Key issues APEC Researcher Mobility Workshop
Researcher mobility supports:
Development of knowledge and innovation networks
within and between countries/economies
Development of hubs or centres of innovation in
specific fields
Transfer of ‘best practices’ throughout the APEC region
Development of hubs ‘co-collaborators’ for future
innovative R&D, thereby formulating linkages between
Higher Education institutions in various settings
APEC’s Education Network APEC Researcher Mobility Workshop
APEC Governments can work together to:
Share information about education and research policies
and practices thereby enabling international cooperation
Collect evidence and share good practice about the
outcomes from education and research policies/practices
Expand education and research cooperation amongst
member economies for mutual benefit
Desired outcomes APEC Researcher Mobility Workshop
Help APEC economies to fully appreciate the role of
researcher mobility in improving knowledge exchange,
increasing the quality and impact of research; and
encouraging innovation through strengthened regional and global connections
Help identify possible strategies for enhancing research
cooperation, including researcher mobility across APEC
Help inform the October 2016 APEC Education Ministers’
Meeting and the development of an APEC Education
Strategy in 2016
Potential desired outcomes APEC Researcher Mobility Workshop
Developing better, more comparable data and
information about scale and characteristics of research cooperation in APEC
Undertaking research on the factors that influence
research cooperation and their economic & social benefits
Increasing access to information about research
cooperation opportunities, particularly for
early-career researchers
Assembling data
Exploring the increasing role and impact of multidisciplinary
approaches to research cooperation in finding solutions to
increasingly complex challenges
Potential desired outcomes APEC Researcher Mobility Workshop
Sharing information across APEC on research systems and
governance arrangements, including considerations of
research ethics, and their outcomes to help inform good
practice and identify potential barriers to cooperation
Education and research systems and governance
Potential desired outcomes APEC Researcher Mobility Workshop
Identifying opportunities and challenges in better linking
the region’s research sectors with industry for greater
economic benefits
Research and industry links
Examining the role of, and barriers to, research-industry
links to support APEC regional value chains
Potential desired outcomes APEC Researcher Mobility Workshop
Examining opportunities for greater engagement on
STEM policy, including strengthening pathways to
STEM careers, encouraging the take up of STEM
education and identifying how governments can ensure
APEC economies develop greater numbers of STEM
qualified workers

Presentation on
Discussion Paper
‘Education is the pre-eminent source of economic development
in the 21st century, creating more and higher jobs and bolstering
productivity growth. Education is also a fundamental component
of economic activity. Cooperation in the education sectors of
APEC economies fosters innovative growth as students,
researchers and education providers build scientific,
technological and linguistic communities.’

‘There is very little choice for governments; either they invest in
policies that are premised on a higher degree of [researcher]
circulation or they run the risk of undermining the very
developments that policy wants to foster, that is, a highly
educated globally competent workforce.’

APEC Researcher Mobility Workshop
10.45 am Report Group Findings Group Spokespeople
‘Academic institutions keen to promote collaboration
with industry must improve their research performance
and encourage researcher mobility. These two factors
could reduce the constraints deriving from location in
an under-industrialised area, improve the visibility of university research, and extend researchers’ networks.’
Research Powering Economic Growth
APEC Researcher Mobility Workshop
Research Powering Economic Growth
1. What research- industry links exist in your economy
– and between your economy and other APEC
economies?
2. Do you have examples of research-industry links
(either domestic or international) that have worked
well?
3. What arrangements are in place in your economy to
support/encourage research-industry links (either
domestic or international links)?
4. What challenges do your research institutions face in
developing partnerships with industry?
5. What ideas do you have for expanding research-
industry links across the APEC region?

mobility? Are there limitations placed on policy
makers by the lack of comparable data?
2. What opportunities exist to expand researcher
mobility, institutional collaboration and research-
industry links in APEC?
3. What challenges do we face?
4. What are our ideas for boosting researcher mobility,
institutional collaboration and research-industry
links?
