the Asia-Link Programme is designed to foster co-operation in the field of higher education between the European Union and South and South East Asia and China.
more specifically, the Asia-Link Programme will provide grants to:
- upgrade and enhance the skills and mobility of postgraduate students,
teaching staff and administrators of higher education institutions through
the provision of in-country and overseas training;
- promote the exchange of experience and encourage mutual knowledge and
recognition of study programmes and reciprocal access to higher education;
- encourage the creation of a basis for future development, including: common
curricula and courses/modules; agreements on credit transfer and mutual
degree recognition, and reciprocal access to higher education, etc.;
- increase the availability of information about the EU higher education system
in the participating asian countries in order to enhance the attractiveness of
european higher education;
- provide asian students with a broader choice of study-abroad opportunities;
- raise awareness of opportunities in the sector and develop links that can
ultimately lead to mutually beneficial economic co-operation.
applicant and partners must have their headquarters within the European Union (Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, The Netherlands, United Kingdom), or any of the following Asian countries/territories: Bangladesh, Bhutan, Brunei, Cambodia, China, East Timor, India, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan, Philippines, Sri Lanka, Thailand or Vietnam.
the general objective of the Asia-Link programme is to promote regional and multilateral networking between higher education institutions in Europe and Asia.
a specific objective of Asia-Link is to encourage the creation of a basis for future development, including common curricula and courses/modules.
this project addresses these issues directly by developing management initiatives at chosen pilot sites and through development of the information base.
in particular by:
- promoting awareness and knowledge of Landslides management among
decision makers and public officers;
- exchange of experience and transfer of know-how in the fields of natural
hazard and landslides;
- development of human resources and training in professions linked to
landslides management and related activities;
- development and enhancement of landslides management as part of
sustainable economic development, namely by networking between actors
of territory.
all these considerations lead to the establishment of the fact that there is a clear need for the creation of the new curriculum of landslides manager.
