MRTC research projects

The project will establish a mobility network between Europe and Asia, to exchange excellence in research and education in several relevant disciplines, such as innovation, design, engineering and environmental science. It will expand the experience of European partners in student and staff exchange to the partner institution in Asia, and thus disseminate good practices with regard to organization and mobility.

Furthermore, IDEAS will facilitate the mobility of students and academic staff through a scholarships scheme, curriculum development of the individuals, the transfer of know-how, and the exchange of best practices. Although the funding of this specific Lot is only for mobility from Asia to EU, we will strive to implement the mobility in both directions. The emphasis will be placed on capacity building aspects, in particular the ability of the partner institutions to handle international mobility and large international cooperation projects.

Finally, the project will also provide the long-lasting value to the individuals involved, who will benefit from a study/research period abroad. As the consortium offers a wide range of thematic fields, any individual mobility demand will find the right educational or research environment at the host university. This will contribute to develop a pool from well qualified, open-minded and internationally experienced young women/men as future leaders.
