Welcome to the website of the EU-Asia Higher Education Platform (EAHEP), a European Union sponsored initiative to promote cooperation in higher education between Asian and European countries. This initiative compliments a series of completed and ongoing projects that contribute to the development and internationalisation of higher education in both regions. It aims to:

• Provide a means for enhancing information exchange, dialogue, and cooperation in higher education and research between the two regions;

• Develop best practices for institutional development and cooperation, and foster mobility of students and academics between the two regions;

• Draw attention to the role and situation of universities in developing countries.

This website is designed to provide useful information on higher education systems in Europe and Asia, study and research opportunities, cooperation projects and initiatives, funding schemes, and the EAHEP project events that will be planned throughout 2008-9.
