ASEAN HEIs focus on the priority of science and technology which support downstreaming and the exploitation of appropriate technology for the shake of national as well as international interest 2. The destination of the country for student mobility of ASEAN provides a big opportunity for EC to establish collaboration with HEIs in ASEAN. 3. The lacks of adequate learning facilities, infrastructures and competencies are still present in the majority of SEAMEO member countries. 4. The common ground of cooperation includes governance, QA, access, finance, management, research and achieving the regional organizational aims with the current area of focus on Cross-Border Higher Education 5. Mobility of students, faculty members and research collaboration are the main activities in ASEAN HEI (note: Students must be trained to have solid understanding of other ASEAN countries including the legal system, values in society, culture, etc.) 6. The government and high officials at HEIs are the main actors influencing the cooperation in the field of teaching-learning 7. Cooperation in the field of research is directly initiated and influenced by individuals (scientists), research centers, or consortium 8. Cooperation uniquely requires good “chemistry”, political understanding, economic, social, and cultural commitment from the policy makers, and direct assistance from the right person in-charge (PIC) 9. The development of science and technology in ASEAN is signalized by the fast growing establishment of the Center of Excellence (CoE) in the ASEAN countries REFERENCES • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • AQAN (http://www.mqa.gov.my/aqan) ASEAN (http://www.asean.org) AUN (http://www.aunsec.org) Badan Pusat Statistik Indonesia (http://www.bps.go.id) Department of Education Philippines (http://www.deped.gov.ph) DIKTI (http://dikti.go.id) EHEA (http://www.ehea.info) EU (http://europa.eu/index_en.htm) Ministry of Education Brunei Darussalam (http://moe.gov.bn/Theme/Home.aspx) Ministry of Education Cambodia (http://www.moeys.gov.kh/en/home.html) Ministry of Education Lao PDR (http://www.moe.gov.la/index.php/lang-en) Ministry of Education Malaysia (http://www.moe.gov.my) Ministry of Education Myanmar (http://www.moemyanmar.net) Ministry of Education Singapore (http://www.moe.gov.sg) Ministry of Education Thailand (http://www.moe.go.th/moe/th/home) Ministry of Education Viet Nam (http://moet.gov.vn) SEA-EU-NET (http://www.sea-eu.net) SEA-EU-NET Bibliometrics (http://bibliometrics.zsi.at/studies/vis/reveal-sea-eu-net.js) SEAMEO RIHED (http://www.rihed.seameo.org) UIS Database (http://www.uis.unesco.org) UNESCO (http://en.unesco.org) Worldbank Database (http://data.worldbank.org) World Economic Forum (http://www.weforum.org) APPENDICES 1 – BRUNEI DARUSSALAM •Total population -
