The Association of Southeast Asian Institutions of Higher Learning (ASAIHL) is a non-governmental organization founded in 1956 to assist higher learning institutions in strengthening themselves through a mutual self help and to achieve international distinction in teaching, research and public service.

The Association exists to foster the development of the institutions themselves, the cultivation of a sense of regional identity and interdependence and liaison with other regional and international organizations concerned with research and teaching. ASAIHL serves as:

• A clearing-house of information
• Provides regular opportunities for the discussion of academic development and general university development
• Assists member institutions in the recruitment and placement of faculty and staff
• Exchanges of professors and students and in the development of co-operative arrangements on specific projects
• Provides advisory services of consultants
• Strengthens the relationship with regional and international bodies and keeps member institutions informed about developments in the region
• And recognizes and acknowledges distinctive achievements among Southeast Asian institutions of higher education
