The AUS is a student-run international program organized by the National University of Singapore (NUS) University Scholars Club (USC) and five leading universities in the ASEAN region.

The inaugural theme for the summit is – Leadership in a Complex World: The Food, Water and Energy Nexus. Within the context of the theme, participants are expected to become more sensitive to and aware of possible linkages that may exist between previously independent issues.
