Internationalisation is one of the pressing issues for South-East Asian HEIs: Mission & Vision statements, as well as Strategic Plans confirm the strong will of the HEIs in the Region to strive for Internationalisation for the sake of students & graduates. Ministerial & Regional policy documents, too, advocate Internationalisation as priority for individual countries & the Region.What HEIs & policymakers lack are the core Recognition Mechanisms:- RM1 Regional Subject-Specific Qualifications & Assessment Reference Frameworks,- RM2 Measuring Full Volume of Student Workload as part of Programme Planning, &- RM3 Authentic Assessment of Programme Learning Outcomes.To address this gap, CALOHEA brings together 26 HEIs from 8 SEA Countries (Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Philippines, Thailand & Vietnam), AUN-ACTS Network, AUN & 5 EU partners highly experienced in creating & helping HEIs adopt the 3 core RMs. University of Groningen & ASEAN University Network act as Project Coordinators &, together with all the Partners, will work to achieve the following:- create & install RM1-3 in 3 pilot areas – Civil Engineering (a door to the Engineering sector), Medicine (a door to the Health sector) & Teacher Education (a door to Social Sciences)- train Teams of Champions for Recognition & Internationalisation in 26 SEA HEIs- reach out to all ASEAN & many more SEA HEIs to encourage regional adoption of the 3 RMs &, thus, help any SEA HEI in Internationalisation efforts.Students & graduates will be direct beneficiaries, since RM1-3 will considerably facilitate mobility & employment. HEIs & their academic & administrative staff will be equipped with the tools to achieve higher level of Internationalisation. Policymakers, &the Region as a whole, will obtain the foundational tools and the Champions necessary to make a serious step forward in articulating a common HE Space and increase mobility among the SEA countries, as well as between SEA and other world regions

The MASUDEM project focuses on curriculum development and academic and administration staff capacity building at partner universities in Indonesia and Thailand (Region 5) addressing the priority Green deal and Sustainable growth and jobs. During the project's existence, the new Master's program/Concentration in Sustainable Development and Management will be developed, accredited, and introduced at partner country universities. The new Master's program will be supported by the development of the study program modules, course documentation, and study texts as well as by retraining of partner country academics teaching in the program. Also, the study services for students of the Master's program will be upgraded in line with best practices and the administrative staff responsible for their provision will be trained. The capacity building will be strengthened by the purchase of relevant equipment to support the core project outcomes. The project will provide opportunities for building sustainable cooperation links among the partner institutions, which are aligned with their internationalization strategies. The outcomes will be disseminated to key stakeholders. The focus of the project on Sustainable Development and Management fully meets the needs of partner countries and contributes to their effort to align their development with the UN sustainable development goals and spread European values in partner countries.

Advanse aims at promoting the modernization of financial management practices and income diversification strategies in HE institutions at regional level, with a view to sustainably strengthen the Higher Education systems and maximize the social return on investment in Higher Education in Malaysia, Indonesia and Thailand. More specific it aims at:-enhancing human, organisational and technical capacities of partner countries HEIs to increase efficiency in financial management (FM) and income diversification, promoting accountability and transparency through systematisation and promotion of good practice.-promoting regional integration through creating a network of financial managers pursuing modernisation of financial management systems and practices.The prjoect will have a sustainable impact on following levels:1. Increased awareness on regional level HEIs & policy makers on common challenges and existing initiatives in modernising FM and income diversification strategies in HE, through systematisation of experiences and supra-regional promotion of good practice; 2. Enhanced human, organisational & technical capacities at institutional levels to improve efficient FM and create a pool of qualified human resources capable to effectively implement reforms, using modern tools and methodologies; 3. Sustainably strengthened institutional modernisation capacities, through development of strategic action plans and joint strategies for efficient FM and income diversification; 4. Region-wide impact and replication of project outputs through creation and implementation of a supra-regional network; 5. Active involvement of relevant actors & non-partner HEIs and region-wide up-take through consistent dissemination strategy

Tuning Asia-South East project brings together 7 South East Asia nations and 6 EU Member States giving the opportunity for 30 higher education institutions to engage in policy dialogues, work on key issues related to harmonising competences, and enhance mutual recognition of higher education qualifications. In order to contribute to and support the harmonisation process within the South East Asia region through building of a framework of comparable, compatible and transparent degree programmes, project aims to apply the Tuning methodology in the South East Asia universities in three subject areas – Civil Engineering, Medicine and Teacher Education, develop Tuning Meta-Profiles in three subject areas; develop, implement, monitor and improve degree programmes, and promote regional and international cooperation between the South East Asia and EU universities. The project main results are ensured by using a multi-stakeholder bottom-up approach while taking European and world Tuning experiences in collaboration with key stakeholders at national, regional and international levels. They include: a well-established group of trained academics and managers (65 academic staff and 40 management staff); Reference Points for the Design and Delivery of Degree Programmes in Civil Engineering, Medicine and Teacher Education; 4 BA Degree Programme Profiles and 1 Master’s Degree Profile; 2 Regional Dissemination Seminars; 2 International Dissemination Conferences; 2 High Level International Policy Forums; 1 Public interactive website. The outcomes of the project are of relevance for all higher education institutions in South East Asia.

The Project is cooperation between Telematica University E-Campus (Co-ordinator, Italy), Chukurova University (Turkey), University of Northumbria (UK) and six Universities in Asia - Beijing University of Technology (China), Lanzhou Jiaotong University (China), University Putrus Malaysia, University Sains Malaysia, Naresuan University (Thailand) and Chiang May University (Thailand). Integration of Sustainable Renewable Energy Solutions into Built Environment is going through a rapid acceleration to bring the level of technology deployment up to modern requirements due to aggravated air pollution conditions across Asian countries. Tackling this burning issue requires a new type of engineers with a deeper professional background in the subject area. The current content of modules and teaching methods used in partner Universities must undergo deep modernisation processes with input from EU Universities and international companies and with collaboration of experts in Mechanical , Civil and Architectural Engineering and Built Environment, and all these specialities are presented in the Project Consortium. The project aim is the deep modernisation of existing syllabus on Integration of Sustainable Renewable Energy Solutions into Built Environment, improving quality of education and teaching, which includes enhancing existing and application of new learning and teaching tools, methodologies and pedagogical approaches. This will involve modernisation of learning outcomes and ICT based practices. At least 48 modules in all 6 partner Universities will go through modernisation. Approximately 50% of modules content will be renewed with structure, outcomes and teaching methods being revised. In application to all 6 partner Universities the modernised part of the selected modules will be worth about 240 ECTS credits. Additionally, Improvements in Skills Development of PhD students will be carried out for meeting career targets.
