Association of Pacific Rim Universities (APRU)
APRU is...
The Association of Pacific Rim Universities (APRU), founded in 1997, is an association established by university presidents of representative Pacific Rim countries. The aims of this association are to strengthen bilateral cooperation in higher education and, through cooperation and contributions in education and research, work together on serious problems facing Pacific Rim societies, such as economic development, urbanization, technology transfer, atmospheric pollution, and the depletion of resources. 60 member universities (as of February 2023) hold workshops, symposiums, and international conferences.
Osaka University has been a member of APRU since its founding and OU students and researchers have participated in its various events.
