About the project
The overall project goal is the contribution to the improvement of engineering education in Afghanistan through building partnerships between European and Asian higher education institutions.
The Asia-Link Programme was launched as initiative of the European
Union to foster networking and cooperation at regional and international
level between higher education institutions within EU member states and Asia
countries. Asia is one of the key partners for the EU from the politics,
culture as well as economic point of view. Higher education and support to
research institutes were identified as two main priorities of EU-Asia
cooperation
