Being an important component of Tsinghua University’s global strategic layout, the Tsinghua Southeast Asia Center (Tsinghua SEA) was established in October 2018 and held its opening ceremony on November 16, 2022 in Bali, Indonesia. The Tsinghua SEA campus in Bali is funded and constructed by United in Diversity Foundation (UID).

The campus covers an area of 17,000 square meters, and the 5,500 square meters of space in the main building is used by the center, which can accommodate more than 300 people working and studying at the same time. The Tsinghua Southeast Asia Center is based in Indonesia, and radiates throughout the entire Southeast Asian region, with extensive connections to Southeast Asian politics, business, universities, academic institutions, and international organizations.

With the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals as its core, the center aims to build an innovative ecosystem platform for academia, government, and private sector cooperation, innovation, co-creation, and sharing.

As a key project and platform for global development initiatives at Tsinghua University, the Tsinghua Southeast Asia Center will continue to strengthen exchanges and cooperation with the Southeast Asian region in areas such as health, poverty reduction, education, digital economy, climate change, and green development.
