  1. Annex B ASEM-DUOFellowship Programme November 2003 Secretariat for ASEM-DUO Fellowship

  2. Remarks on ASEM-DUO… • You might ask: what does ASEM mean for people in everyday life? I would like to mention just a few examples of ASEM-initiatives. One of the best examples is the ASEM-DUO Fellowship Programme…Rasmussen, Danish Prime Minister • This program helps strengthen the relationship between the two countrires…we need the exchange to see the difference and the difference makes us richer in mind…Davisi Boontharm (DUO-France) • The ASEM-DUO program provided me with an important experience that has changed my opinions about Korea and Asia. The experience will influence my future life… Matthias Wilde (DUO-Korea) • Without your help, I wouldn’t have been able to enrich my knowledge about Korea and to have this wonderful once in a lifetime experience… Titia Hoogenveen (DUO-Korea) November 2003

  3. Development of the Programme • Idea Formulation • Asia–Europe Vision Group in 1999 identified the need of a scholarship program within the ASEM framework • Concrete Proposal • The 3rd ASEM (2000) approved ASEM-DUO Fellowship Program, jointly proposed by Korea, France and Singapore • A total of 26 million EUROS was targeted for 5 years • As a starter, Korea, France, Singapore committed contribution of 6 million EUROS • Denmark joined in 2003 with the contribution of 0.5 million EUROS • Actual Implementation • The first Int’l Expert Meeting held was in Seoul April 2001, and a secretariat was established in Seoul • Exchange of people started in January 2002 • 2nd Expert Meeting in November 2003 November 2003

  4. Differentiated Mission ASEM-DUO Fellowship Programme aims at • Promoting balanced and permanent increase of contacts and exchanges among students, professors, and teachers between Europe and Asia regions • Balance is pursued through pairing of educational institutions, one in Europe and the other in Asia • Permanency is pursued through giving priority to exchange programs under cooperation agreements • Flexibility is also pursued through “Core Principles” • Simple “Core Principles” apply to ASEM-DUO Fellowship • Donating countries can specify detailed individual criteria beyond Core Principles November 2003

  5. Structure of ASEM-DUO • Umbrella concept Governed by Core Principles ASEM-DUO DUO-Denmark DUO-Singapore DUO-France DUO-XXX DUO-Korea DUO-YYY Actual fellowship Programs by donating countries Individually tailored detailed criteria November 2003

  6. Core Principles and Flexibility 1. Pairing of exchanges • Pairs of teachers or students from the two educational institutions, one in Asia and the other in Europe, are supported as a package 2. Standardized duration of stay in units • one unit comprises 6 months for students, and 1 month for professors and teachers 3. Grants calculated on a pair(duo) basis • 6,000 euros for 2 professors for one unit (or 3,000/month) • 12,000 euros for 2 students for one unit (or 1,000/month) • Donating country decides the rest according to its individual needs November 2003

  7.
