    General Info : Achievements  
  Preparatory Stage to Phase I  
     
 

During the Preparatory Stage (2001-2002) to Phase 1 (2003-2007), the AUN/SEED-Net Project aimed to enhance educational and research capacities of Member Institutions with the following expected outputs:

1. Faculty qualifications are upgraded through acquisition of graduate degrees;
2. Host graduate programs are enhanced;
3. Joint activities and human linkage among Member Institutions are promoted through networking activities;
4. Iinformation dissemination system, activity management system, and communication network are established.

At the end of Phase I, the project objectives were mostly achieved through active exchanges of resources among the Member Institutions and stronger relationship with the Japanese Supporting University Consortium. The Project also created numerous outputs as listed below.

Graduate Programs To upgrade faculty qualification through Master's Program, PhD Sandwich Program including Short-term Study Program in Japan, PhD Program in Japan, and PhD Program in Singapore Total 445 Scholarships

311 Master's

66 PhD Sandwich

56 PhD in Japan

12 PhD in Singapore

Collaborative Research To promote join research activities and joint thesis research supervision 222 Projects (US$ 2,138,538)
Research Publications To publicize research work done by AUN/SEED-Net scholars and Member Institutions Over 300 publications in journals and conference proceedings
Special Equipment To enhance capacity of Host Institutions 92 items (US$ 907,066)
Japanese Professors Dispatch To provide technical assistance from Japanese professors in joint thesis research supervision, collaborative research activities and seminars Total 388 dispatches
99 for research activities
289 for field-wise seminars
Short-term Visits to Japan To strengthen the relationship between Member Institutions and Japanese Supporting Universities 212 visits
Short-term Visits within Member Institutions To strengthen the relationship between Host Institutions and Member Institutions 44 visits
Field-wise Seminars To gather experts to discuss the Project and systematize the collaborative research activities 92 seminars
Promotional Trips To facilitate student recruitment by Host Institutions 238 visitis

The Network also initiated collaboration among the Member Institutions and the Japanese Supporting Universities to develop human resources and research in critical areas. For examples, the Workshop on Disaster Mitigation and Management in ASEAN Countries was arranged in 2005 in Phuket, Thailand; the Distance Learning Program on Earthquake Engineering has been run since 2005 between Chulalongkorn University and Tokyo Institute of Technology; and the special support was provided for the Emergency Response Program to the Java earthquake conducted by Gadjah Mada University, Kyushu University and Kyoto University.

 
  Phase II  
     
 

Phase II of the AUN/SEED-Net Project (2008-2012) has been built on the achievements of Phase I and the expectations towards the future of the Project by the Member Institutions. The goal of this phase is to establish a sustainable framework of human resource development network in engineering field, aiming at contributing to the ASEAN region’s development, under the ownership of the member countries. Four outputs expected in this phase are:

1. Capacity enhancement of the member institutions
2. Collaborative research for industry and community
3. Further strengthening of engineering network
4. Preparation for the Japan-ASEAN Graduate School Consortium of Engineering

Significantly, the Network has extended its outreach to involve non-member institutions as well as industrial and government sectors, to empower the AUN/SEED-Net alumni network, and to set out interdisciplinary research on the region’s common issues namely Biotechnology, Disaster Mitigation & Management, Global Environment, Natural Resources & Materials, and New or Renewable Energy.
