Philippine APEC Study Center Network
In November 1993, the APEC Economic Leaders launched the APEC Leader's Education Initiative (ALEI) to develop regional cooperation in higher education, study key regional economic issues, improve worker skills, facilitate cultural and intellectual exchanges, enhance labor mobility and foster understanding of the diversity of the Asia Pacific region. At the ALEI meeting, all participating members agreed to establish APEC Study Centers, utilizing existing universities and research institutions in order to promote APEC-related studies and to promote programs for greater exchange of scholars and students.
