Daffodil International University (DIU) co-hosted the 38th Annual Conference of the Association of Universities of Asia and the Pacific (AUAP) at Hungaricum Liget Hotel in Hungary on November 9–10, bringing together representatives from 17 universities across 16 countries to discuss innovation, artificial intelligence and the future of higher education.
A three-member DIU delegation, led by Dr Md Sabur Khan, Founder and Chairman of the Board of Trustees, attended the conference, where he delivered a keynote address on building human-centred, entrepreneurial and sustainable universities in the age of artificial intelligence. The conference, themed “Reimagining Higher Education in the Age of AI: Innovation, Inclusion, and Impact for a Sustainable Future”, provided a platform for academic leaders to exchange ideas, strengthen institutional partnerships and explore emerging trends in higher education, DIU said in a press release.
In his address, Khan stressed the importance of adopting artificial intelligence while preserving human values, encouraging entrepreneurial thinking and promoting sustainability.
He said universities needed to move beyond conventional education models and develop inclusive, innovation-driven ecosystems that prepare graduates to become problem-solvers, entrepreneurs and responsible global leaders.
DIU’s participation as a co-host reflects its commitment to strengthening international academic collaboration and contributing to discussions on innovation, entrepreneurship and the sustainable transformation of higher education.
