Doctoral Degree Program in Singapore
For the Japanese Fiscal Year 2013
AUN/SEED-Net Project
As of November 12, 2012
AUN/SEED-Net Doctoral Degree Program in Singapore 2013
1. Project Background
The concept of the SEED-Net evolved at the ASEAN-Japan Summit Meeting held in December 1997
and the central issue became how to upgrade higher engineering education by way of creating engineering
institutions’ networks ASEAN-wide. As a result of a series of discussions and preparations between
ASEAN Member Countries and Japan, the ASEAN University Network/Southeast Asia Engineering
Education Development Network (AUN/SEED-Net) was established in 2001 as a sub-network of ASEAN
University Network (AUN).
After two years of preparation, full-scale operation started in March 2003 for five years as the Phase 1
cooperation, which was then followed by another five year project as the Phase 2 cooperation, supported by
Japanese Government through Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA).
In the last decade the AUN/SEED-Net has supported young academic staff of Member Institutions to
acquire higher degrees (master’s degree and/or Ph.D.) by providing them opportunities to study at leading
Member Institutions in the region or at supporting universities in Japan. As a result, around 900 academic
staff have already obtained opportunities to study for higher degrees, with most of these having returned to
teach students at universities in their respective countries. At the same time, the project has strengthened the
research capacity of academic staff in ASEAN Member Countries by supporting collaborative research,
academic staff exchange, academic conference, “ASEAN Engineering Journal” and so on. As a result,
around 700 collaborative research projects have been undertaken, and more than 1,000 academic papers
have been published. Over 1,300 in total academic staff have also participated in exchange programs
between institutions in the network. Through these activities the AUN/SEED-Net has succeeded in
strengthening the engineering faculties of each Member Institution.
Based on these remarkable achievements, the ASEAN Member Countries, Member Institutions, the
Government of Japan and JICA have a strong intention to continue the AUN/SEED-Net aiming to bring
about larger impacts not only to other universities in the region and Japan, but also to industry and
community by making more direct contribution to the socio-economic development in the region and Japan.
After continuous discussion, all parties agreed to implement the Phase 3 Project of AUN/SEED-Net with
these following objectives :
(1) Contribution to advancement and globalization of regional industry
(2) Contribution to solution of regional common issues in Asia
(3) Establishment of human resource development platform in science and technology in Asia
2. Program Concept
AUN/SEED-Net and National University of Singapore (NUS) / Nanyang Technological University (NTU)
jointly provides scholarships for highly qualified young faculty staff / prospective young faculty staff of
Member Institutions to pursue direct doctoral degrees in engineering at NUS and NTU under the following
field of Engineering.
