EU-ASEAN Sustainable Connectivity Package – Higher Education Programme (SCOPE-HE)
SCOPE-HE is an EU-funded programme under the EU–ASEAN Sustainable Connectivity Package, aiming to strengthen connectivity between the EU and ASEAN and within ASEAN.
About the programme
SCOPE-HE will be implemented over four years (2024 – 2028) and involves representatives from all ASEAN Member States. Focusing on green transition, blue economy, and digitalisation, the programme builds on the successes of the EU Support to Higher Education Programme in the ASEAN Region (SHARE) and ERASMUS+.
SCOPE-HE aims to strengthen people-to-people connections through a focus on education, research, university networks, and Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET), within ASEAN and between the EU and ASEAN.
The role of Nuffic
As an EU pillar assessment organisation, Nuffic leads this programme, working closely with the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) to achieve its objectives.
The SCOPE-HE programme is structured around three main result areas aimed at improving sustainable connectivity between the EU and ASEAN.
Key activities
The SCOPE-HE programme is structured around three main result areas:
Student and Academic Mobility
This result area focuses on strengthening student and academic mobility in line with relevant ASEAN strategies. It supports policy dialogue, mutual recognition of qualifications and academic credits, and capacity-building for ASEAN institutions. This result area is implemented by Nuffic in collaboration with DAAD.
Higher Education Institution (HEI) Clusters
This result area supports EU–ASEAN cross-regional HEI clusters to foster research collaboration and technological connectivity. It promotes joint research activities in areas such as the green transition, digital transformation, and the blue economy. This result area is implemented by DAAD.
Vocational Education Institutions and Businesses
This result area strengthens collaboration between vocational education institutions and businesses in ASEAN. It focuses on improving employability, supporting skills development, and promoting cooperation in areas such as the green transition, sustainability, and digital transformation. This result area is implemented by Nuffic.
These activities contribute to the programme’s outputs and results.
