eASIA 2008 is priviledged to be associated with the following new Academic partners- Universiti Malaysia Sarawak, Universiti Sains Malaysia, Sukhothai Thammathirat Open University.

 Universiti Sains Malaysia has been developing and expanding since its inception, which started with the enrolment of 57 science based students. Now, USM offers courses at undergraduate and postgraduate levels to approximately 20,000 students. Since its beginning, USM has implemented a school system, as opposed to the traditional faculty system. What is unique about this system is that each school could fulfil the needs of a more focused degree in the chosen area of study and at the same time, students could have the opportunity to explore other areas of study offered by another school.

 Universiti Malaysia Sarawak (UNIMAS) was established in early 1993 and began its operation in May 1993. CAIS functions as the Knowledge Centre for the university. The IT infrastructure enables the Centre to function as an integrated user-oriented Centre for the acquisition, processing and dissemination of information and knowledge.

 Sukhothai Thammathirat Open University in response to individual and societal needs, holds to the principle of lifelong education and aims to develop the quality of life of people, generally by increasing the level of knowledge of working people and expanding the educational opportunities for secondary-school graduates.
