Malaysia welcomes far more international students than any other country in SE Asia, yet it is losing talent faster than most with its brightest minds leaving the country to pursue careers overseas. 

With Malaysia’s Higher Education Plan due to expire in 2025, this episode sets the scene for a series of podcasts that will explore how universities could turn the situation around – particularly the role supercomputers, spin outs and a more porous campus could play in reshaping the sector to position the country as an attractive option for students, researchers, workers and business. 


Featuring Prof Evelyn Welch (University of Bristol) and Andrew Sheng.
