One of the main goals of Experts4Asia is to give continuity and sustainability to the successful multilateral collaboration created in previous projects while including new players in the Erasmus Mundus program. The consortium is composed of 5 countries from group A (Afghanistan, Bhutan, Bangladesh, Nepal and Pakistan) and 7 countries from group B (China, India, Indonesia, Maldives, Sri Lanka, the Philippines and Thailand). All together, the consortium consists of 13 universities from SSEA and 7 universities from EU allowing the coverage of as many subject areas as possible.The project has multifaceted objectives: it aims on one hand to focus on excellence in technical fields and on the other to strengthen mobility in a wide range of disciplines such as Agricultural and Environment studies; Engineering Technology; Health & Medical Studies; Social Development; Regional Development, Poverty & Growth; and Law (10). Expanding the specific areas is subjected to better addressing the specific country need in SSEA region while also considering the improvement of gender balance among the project’s beneficiaries.183 grants will be offered, from which 135 are SSEA to EU and 48 EU to SSEA. Per type: BA -20.2%, MA- 26.8%, PhD- 20.2%, PostDoc- 12.6%, and Staff – 20.2% from which half will be for academic staff and half for personnel related to the internationalization process and institutional building of the universities to learn techniques about the management and administration with reference to the international realm at the EU higher education institutions.The Joint Coordinator – IPB Bogor will also ensure that the project is more effective in those aspects requiring a deep knowledge of the country like the definition of vulnerable categories and the recognition of studies. Regarding the total number of mobility flows, the proposed scheme allows to distribute the project funding to a large number of individuals well over the minimum established by the Call for Proposals.
