The development of the SEAASIA programme is highly dependent on each university’s specific needs and capacities. During March – April 2020 a baseline survey was conducted with the purpose to collect information about the current SEA status (linked to Work package (WP) 2, 3, 4 and 5) of each university.
The results from the baseline survey will be used as a point of departure when developing the programme to meet the needs of the participants. The overall results of the Erasmus+ SEA ASIA programme 2019-2022 has been developed by the University of Lisbon.
