92 collaborative degree programs have been in operation between Thai and foreign higher education institutions in year 2011 (1 Diploma, 46 Bachelor’s, 36 Master’s and 9 PhD for all field of study) Partner countries: China (47), United States (25), Germany (13), Australia (9), Canada (9)…. Japan (2) (source: Office of the Higher Education Commission, Ministry of Education in Thailand, Aug 2011) 2 More collaboration in ASEAN (case of Thailand)

More and more collaboration through ASEAN University Network (AUN) with Dialogue Partners namely China, Korea, EU, USA and Japan Scholarship, Youth Exchange Program, Rector’s conference (EU, China, ASEAN+3), ASEAN Korea Cyber Universities, Cooperation on Doctoral Education between EU and Asia (strategic survey), SEE Forum by Kyoto U…. There are various types of activities though some of them are at very initial stage 3 More collaboration in ASEAN (by AUN)

The Network consists of 19 leading institutions from 10 ASEAN countries with the support of 11 leading Japanese Supporting Universities. AUN/SEED-Net is mainly supported by the Japanese Government through JICA and partially supported by ASEAN Foundation. 6 Example of Collaboration: AUN/SEED-Net ASEAN University Network / South East Asia Engineering Education Development Network Preparatory Stage : April Mar Phase 1 : Mar Mar Phase 2 : Mar Mar. 2013

1. To activate internationally competitive personnel in leading engineering educational institutions in the region 2. To promote collaboration and solidarity between academics and professionals in the region 8 December 1997 November 1999 March – April 2001 March March Concept proposed at the ASEAN-Japan Summit Meeting Phase I of AUN/SEED- Net Project Announced as one of the main programs of the “OBUCHI-Plan” -Japanese Supporting Universities Establishment -Inauguration Ceremony among Representatives of 19 Member Institutions and the Ministry of all the ASEAN countries Phase II of AUN/SEED- Net Project Sustainable social and economic development is promoted in ASEAN countries

Establishing consortium of graduate schools of engineering to produce high-quality graduates. Three main activities namely Graduate Program (mainly for young faculty staff), Collaborative Research and Academic Networking Identifying 9 engineering fields with one Member Institution (MI) acting as Host institution (HI) or regional hub, to train graduates and staff of other institutions, promote mobility and conduct research collaboration with assistance from Japanese Supporting Universities. 9 Project Strategy

PhD Sandwich Program by SEED-Net as one of the examples of joint program 3 year PhD study at Host Institution in ASEAN Students (mainly young faculty staff) are jointly supervised by advisor at HI and Japanese professors as co-advisor During three year study, students are eligible to visit co-advisor of Japanese university for short term study and research for maximum 8 months (can be divided into 1 month and 7 months). Degree will be given by HI in ASEAN 13 Enrollment at HIGraduationStudy in Japan (1 month)Study in Japan (7 months) 1 st year2 nd year3 rd year (Example of study)

Collaboration with Kyoto U under SEED-Net Co-advisors for Master in ASEAN = 28 students under 15 professors Co-advisors for PhD Sandwich in ASEAN = 13 students under 10 professors PhD Sandwich students studied at Kyoto U (8 months study) = 11 PhD Japan accepted by Kyoto U = 9 (from which 3 graduated) Number of Japanese Professors from Kyoto U to visit ASEAN for joint supervision, research discussion = 39 (phase 2 only) Collaboration with SEE Forum 14

Seminar on Disaster Prevention and Mitigation: Learning from the Experience of the Great East Japan Earthquake for Better Disaster Preparedness in East Asia during Aug 29 – Sep 6, 2011, Japan Co-hosted by Global Center for Education and Research on Human Security Engineering of Kyoto U and Center for Urban Earthquake Engineering of TIT. 29 Participants from ASEAN visited disaster stricken areas in Iwate Prefecture. The highly uncertain nature of disasters is witnessed, and the participants realized that every country should get prepared for the worse possible scenario. 15

Output -1 : Improvement of Educational and research capacity of Member Institutions Upgrade of faculty qualification Improvement of graduate program at Host Institution (e.g. internationalization, shorten the period for graduation) Establishment of new course and postgraduate course offered in English 16

UGM, Kyushu university, and Kyoto university developed a hazard map under collaborative research project. This hazard map is used for effective earthquake counter majors such as crisis management, evacuation procedure, and architectural standard. 20 Earthquake in Yogyakarta Hazard Map (2005) Example of Collaborative Research

Difficulties and challenges from experiences of graduate program, short-term course How to attract students (esp. PhD student) for the study and research in ASEAN (joint education program might be one of the solutions). Many students, especially PhD level, are still interested in studying in Europe, USA and Japan, not ASEAN. Credit transfer, joint courses, double / joint degrees which are not under current scope of SEED-Net Matching among students, advisors in ASEAN and co-advisors in Japan Funding sources 24

Expectation for further collaboration between Kyoto U and ASEAN Research collaboration especially on regional issues such as earthquake, flood, typhoon etc Joint courses and programs such as joint graduate program Continuous collaboration especially with alumni and young faculty staff in ASEAN More exchange of faculty staff and students among ASEAN and Japan Re-Inventing Japanese University Project as one of the good examples of further and intensive collaboration 25
