Roger Jr. Chao Assistant Director and Head of Education Youth & Sports at the ASEAN Secretariat tells us how his international education journey started when studying, on an Erasmus Mundus scholarship, a European Master in lifelong learning policy and management at Aarhus University, Denmark. This experience played a critical role in helping him understand and appreciate the value and significance of the Bologna Process which led to the creation of a European Higher Education Area, eventually helping him contribute to translating the European experience in Southeast Asia. 
Roger Jr. tells us of the specific challenges facing the realisation of a common higher education area in the ASEAN region, and shares his insights into how different countries in the region are looking to internationalise their HE sector, including his home country, the Philippines, which is currently considering establishing an international hub in the CEBU province. Roger Jr. stresses his interest in promoting the notion of internationalisation for all, or as he refers to it 'comprehensive internationalisation', key to widening access to international education, and he reflects on the role that TNE can play in the process... and he shares the memorable experience of having been able to translate his PhD considerations into reality through his involvement in the development and launch of the roadmap on ASEAN higher education space.
