AUN/SEED-Net Collaborative Research Program (CR)

Overview

To further develop human resources as well as research and educational capabilities of the Member Institutions and to provide solutions to common issues of the ASEAN region, the Collaborative Research (CR) Program, designed primarily to support research supervision activities of advisors at Host Institutions (HIs) and co-advisors at Japanese Supporting Universities (JSUs) and Member Institutions (MIs), has extended its scope to involve the five interdisciplinary areas which are addressed as the common critical issues of ASEAN while retaining the existing nine fundamental engineering fields. Therefore, not only the CR Program will strengthen research and educational capabilities of the MIs and enable the HIs to provide graduate degree programs with the international standard and high quality thesis research, but also it will strive to contribute more to the development of the ASEAN region by encouraging the
collaborative research activities that address the region’s common issues and have economic and
social impacts on regional industry and community.

The CR Program will be facilitated and supplemented by other supporting programs, namely Japanese Professors Dispatch Program, Short-Term Research Program in Japan, and ShortTerm Visit Program in ASEAN, which will enhance communication and collaboration between advisors at HIs (principal investigators) and co-advisors (co-investigators) at JSUs and MIs. Besides, involvement of government, industry, community, non-MIs, and other networks/regions will be promoted. Regional Conference Program is also provided to give an opportunity for all collaborators to develop and discuss the research collaboration as well as to publicize research results. The relationship between the CR Program and other supporting programs is depicted in


Objectives

1) To create joint research activities among HIs, MIs, and JSUs;
2) To implement joint research by assigning thesis research topics to AUN/SEED-Net students and conducting “joint thesis research supervision” by HIs, MIs, JSUs;
3) To ensure high quality thesis research of master’s and doctoral students;
4) To ensure completion of the graduate degree within reasonable duration (two years for master’s degree and three years for doctoral degree) through the involvement of Japanese professors;
5) To promote research collaboration among HIs, MIs, and JSUs, with involvement of non- MIs, the industry, the community, and other networks;
6) To closely link scholars, alumni members, as well as local graduate students among MIs;
7) To contribute to the development of the ASEAN region by addressing common critical problems or needs.

The 9 Fundamental Fields

- Chemical Engineering (ChE)
- Civil Engineering (CE)
- Electrical and Electronics Engineering (EEE)
- Environmental Engineering (EnvE)
- Geological Engineering (GeoE)
- Information and Communication Technology (ICT)
- Manufacturing Engineering (ManuE)
- Materials Engineering (MatE)
- Mechanical and Aeronautical Engineering (ME/AE)

Expectations

1) CR themes and topics should be discussed thoroughly and selected with consensus among MIs and JSUs.
2) CR projects are encouraged to have involvements of AUN/SEED-Net alumni, local graduate students, non-MIs, the government, the industry, the community, and other networks/regions if possible.
3) CR projects are expected to challenge regional comparative study or innovative solutions for the common problems of the ASEAN region.
4) Direction, progress and results of the CR projects are expected to be discussed and presented regularly at the AUN/SEED-Net Regional Conferences.
5) Collection of research results should be published as a comprehensive book of each identified CR theme under the AUN/SEED-Net Project.
6) Research results should be accepted for publication in proceedings and/or journals.

Ceiling Amount of Support for Collaborative Research

Students Enrollment ( regular annual amount ):

per one AUN/SEED-Net master’s student US$ 3,500
per one AUN/SEED-Net doctoral student US$ 5,000
