Page 58 - EU_ASEN Relations: Perspectives From Malaysia

Europe/ASEAN-EU as well as offering postgraduate programs on Regional

Integration and ASEAN Studies, the institute is the only such institute in the
region that has such a focus on Asia-Europe relations.

Conclusion

In this chapter, we had set out to examine ASEAN-EU cooperation in higher

education by firstly, describing higher education developments in Europe
followed by those in ASEAN. We then discussed cooperation between

ASEAN and EU higher education with an emphasis on the role of Malaysia in
fostering intra ASEAN and inter-regional cooperation. A number of initiatives

that further and foster relations through higher education cooperation have

been identified and highlighted. Opportunities for inter-regional as well as
intra-regional cooperation have opened up in the last decade with expectations

for increased mobility and inter-regional projects in higher education for
ASEAN and the EU.
