Senior International Leaders’ Meeting 2017

The Voice of Knowledge and Innovation: Challenges, Opportunities and Actions September 20-22, 2017

PREPARATION FOR MONTERREY MEETING

This is a request to Senior International Leaders to prepare for the Monterrey meeting by doing some research on your campuses prior to attending the meeting.

The idea comes from the Internationalization Initiatives Forum at the Annual Presidents’ Meeting hosted by UNSW Sydney in June this year. Senior International Leaders expressed the wish to ensure that the Monterrey meeting is productive by each leader coming to the meeting having done some ‘homework’ on the key issues to be discussed.

The priority areas for the ‘homework’ are: The Pacific Ocean and Education for Big Data. These are laid out below along with information requested from your university.

However, you are welcome to bring ideas and proposals relating to other areas of APRU’s activities if you so wish.

Colleagues who are unable to attend the SIL Meeting are also encouraged to send their comments and input to these questions to Ms Elaine Hung at [email protected] by September 15, 2017. Thank you.

I. Pacific Ocean Sustainability – APRU Research and Advocacy Cluster

Background: APRU is committed to raising awareness and addressing major challenges affecting the health of the Pacific Ocean and its marine and coastal resources by connecting research and education to international public policy and advocacy. We are leveraging the specific advantages APRU has as an international university network interacting with other international organizations.

APRU is developing a highly effective network platform and key activities (a cluster of initiatives), connecting latest research and science with policy makers and international partners while encouraging future leaders to take on the challenges of the Pacific Ocean.

APRU has already submitted its voluntary commitments to support the target of the UN Sustainable Development Goal 14 – Life Below Water.

Questions: 1. Which academic colleagues from your university researching in areas related to ocean and marine

science are interested in engaging and contributing to APRU projects addressing key issues of thePacific Ocean with the aim to directly inform policy makers of the region?

2. Which key topics relating to SDG14 (e.g. ocean acidification, sea level rise, social and environmentalequity, coastal/ marine protection, pollution, etc.) are of key interest to your faculty members,researchers and students for engagement with the international policy community?

3. Will your university be prepared to lead and/or support APRU activities to addressing majorchallenges affecting the health of the Pacific Ocean?

II. Education for Big Data Background: APEC Project DARE (Data Analytics Raising Awareness) seeks to facilitate development of a data science analytics (DSA) enabled workforce across the APEC region to support sustainable economic growth and prosperity in the Asia-Pacific. For this project, DSA is defined as the ability to gather, analyze, and draw practical conclusions from data, as well as communicate data findings to others. APRU and its member universities has been providing support to the Project DARE’s Advisory Group which comprises business and academic DSA experts including faculty from HKUST, NUS, UM and UP. A set of “Recommended APEC Data Science & Analytics Competencies” was developed and are intended to serve as a resource to enable academia and training providers to align the development of curricula, courses and programs to industry needs. Please refer to the Annex for details of the Project DARE. Questions: Representatives of Project DARE’s Advisory Group will join the session at the Monterrey Meeting to discuss how your university is preparing your students to be workforce ready. Your input on the following questions are sought: 1. Has your university recognized the growing demand for DSA-enabled graduates and, if so, how is

your university adjusting curriculum?

2. What are the hurdles your university faces to ensure that your students are workforce ready?

3. Does your university communicate with employers to understand their emerging needs? If yes, then what are the best practices?

APEC Project DARE (Data Analytics Raising Awareness)

ABOUT

Project DARE is a private-public partnership initiative of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) launched in 2016 and led by the United States (U.S. Department of Labor) under APEC’s Human Resources and Development Working Group (HRDWG). Project DARE is co-chaired by Wiley and the Business Higher Education Forum (BHEF) with sponsorship from the governments of Australia, Japan, Malaysia, Peru, Chinese Taipei, and Viet Nam and endorsed by the APEC Business Advisory Council (ABAC).

Project DARE seeks to facilitate development of a data science analytics (DSA) enabled workforce across the APEC region to support sustainable economic growth and prosperity in the Asia-Pacific. For this project, DSA is defined as the ability to gather, analyze, and draw practical conclusions from data, as well as communicate data findings to others.

With the emergence of big data, employers are increasingly demanding a DSA enabled workforce. However, there are not enough DSA-enabled workers to meet demand. Over 50% of corporate leaders in a 2012 McKinsey Global Institute survey rank DSA as a top-ten corporate priority. International Data Corporation (IDC) predicts a 29% compound annual growth rate of DSA-professional services in Asia-Pacific by 2020. Yet in the face of this growing demand, a 2015 survey of more than 400 companies in ten economies revealed that approximately 43% of DSA vacancies remain unfilled.

APRU & PROJECT DARE

In May 2017, Project DARE convened an Advisory Group composed of business and academic DSA experts from 14 APEC economies to identify DSA competencies needed to prepare graduates to be workforce-ready. Several APRU member universities nominated representatives to serve on the Advisory Group, including:

• Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (Dr. Kar Yan Tam, Dean and Chair Professor,School of Business and Management)

• National University of Singapore (Dr. Bernard C.Y. Tan, Vice Provost)• University of Malaya (Dr. Awang Bulgiba Awang Mahmud, Deputy Vice-Chancellor)• University of the Philippines, Diliman (Dr. Eugene Rex L. Jalao, Associate Professor of Industrial

Engineering)

PROJECT DARE 2017 OUTCOMES

The Advisory Group developed a set of “Recommended APEC Data Science & Analytics Competencies,” which were subsequently endorsed by the APEC HRDWG (see press release here). The competencies are intended to serve as a resource to enable academia and training providers to align the development of curricula, courses and programs to industry needs.

WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU

Representatives of Project DARE’s Advisory Group will attend the APRU Senior International Leaders’ Meeting in September in Monterrey, Mexico and moderate a session to discuss how your university is preparing your students to be workforce ready. Key questions to consider as you prepare for this session:

• Has your university recognized the growing demand for DSA-enabled graduates and, if so, how isyour university adjusting curriculum?

• What are the hurdles your university faces to ensure that your students are workforce ready?• Does your university communicate with employers to understand their emerging needs? If yes,

then what are the best practices?
