Project Summary

The overall goal of ASTRA is to enhance the financial sustainability and to secure additional funding for promoting the research activities in the areas of ICT and Social Sciences in the four participating Universities from Laos and Thailand.

The objective of the project is to support the operation of Higher Education Institutions in Laos and Thailand, by increasing their staff’s capacity for accessing financial resources through the exploitation of relevant donour-funded Research and Development Programmes and by offering state-of-the-art consulting support services to private clients.

In practice, 4 Research & Development Innovation Centres will be established (one in each participating Partner university) for serving the above-mentioned purposes.
