"The academic dynamics in the South-East Asia region are part of a changing environment. In addition to this environment, there is a political will on the part of the Cambodian and Vietnamese governments to generalize the process of empowering their higher education institutions (HEIs). Each institution must therefore define and implement a contextualized and renewed governance model that allows it to identify the changes and disruptions that affect its ecosystem, and therefore its own missions and activities. It is in this context the project ""Pilotage Universitaire Rénovée en Sud-Est Asiatique - PURSEA"" is taking place, which aims to strengthen the governance capacity of the 8 partner HEIs by supporting them in the definition of contextualized strategic planning and the implementation of operational action plans. It will be necessary to co-construct the methods and tools necessary to improve the strategic development plans of HEIs and to put them into action through a change management and support system. In this sense, the PURSEA project is doubly structuring in terms of both its ambition and its scope. Through its ambition, the support of the ERASMUS+ Programme creates the conditions for an in-depth transformation of university governance: the main challenge is to design a renewed governance model designed as a decision-making aid mechanism focused on responsible management in the face of the challenges facing society. By its scope, the support of the ERASMUS+ Programme makes it possible to co-construct the deliverables that will be used, beyond the duration of the project, to structure and develop a regional offer in strategic planning on the procedures for the evolution of governance and management of HEIs in South-East Asia."
