Combining British and Asian perspectives, PEER studied policies, practices, emerging opportunities, and concepts of internationalisation to inform future higher education partnership between the UK and East Asia. Mr Leighton Ernsberger highlighted the significance of building partnerships in Southeast Asia for the UK and the British Council:

"It's a region of incredible diversity, with a young vibrant population and economically growing significantly, and so for the UK, for the British Council, there's so much opportunity to build partnerships and connections”.

"Creating synergy and increasing connectivity, not only in higher education but including TVET; that also includes research collaborations as collaborations in research within the Common Higher Education Space in Southeast Asia can provide enhanced capacity for knowledge production, which addresses key issues of sustainable development".
