The AUN for Business and Economics Network has been established with the main mission of facilitating collaboration among ASEAN universities so as to strengthen education, research, and industry relevance in business and economics for the benefit of ASEAN Economic Community.

The main objectives of AUN-BE:

  • To strengthen and leverage the relationship among members in the areas of business and economics
  • To uplift the quality level of programs in the areas of business and economics among members with a possible engagement of other ASEAN universities
  • To enhance the internationalization of programs in the realms of business and economics

The network was founded in 1999. In the spirit of shared leadership, the AUN-BE Secretariat initially moved from one university to another based on the host of the Annual General Meeting. This went on until, in 2013, the network appointed a permanent secretariat for the network at the Faculty of Economics and Business, Universitas Gadjah Mada in Yogyakarta, Indonesia.
