Lingnan University co-hosts APAIE 2026 to promote ‘Study in Hong Kong’
Nearly 200 higher education leaders from all over the world visit the Lingnan University campus.
Lingnan University welcomed nearly 200 higher education leaders from all over the world at its Tuen Mun campus on 27 February. The visit was one of the main activities of the 2026 Asia-Pacific Association for International Education (APAIE) Conference and Exhibition. Through campus tours and interactive exchanges, Lingnan showed its internationalised learning environment and innovative teaching facilities, actively highlighting Hong Kong’s unique advantages as an international higher education hub. The University also promoted the “Study in Hong Kong” brand, which aims to attract more non-local students to study and work in the city. Lingnan’s senior management, academic staff, and students explored opportunities to work with representatives in student exchange programmes, research partnerships, and talent recruitment.
The APAIE Conference and Exhibition, one of the three most successful international education conferences, is sponsored and hosted this year by the eight Hong Kong universities funded by the University Grants Committee. Themed “Asia-Pacific Partnerships for the Global Good”, it brought together over 3,000 higher education leaders and experts from more than 70 countries and regions to explore critical issues and emerging trends in higher education. The APAIE Conference and Exhibition also featured pre-workshops, keynote lectures, parallel sessions, roundtable discussions, networking functions, and local university campus tours.
