ASEM DUO-Belgium/Wallonia-Brussels has been established to promote “paired exchanges” between professors from Wallonia-Brussels Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) and Asian ones.
The ASEM-DUO Fellowship Programme aims at:
- Promoting balanced mobility of higher education professors between the two regions;
