Among participants, eight were Korean students and professors who have not yet departed to their host countries and six were European students who have been undertaking exchange courses in Korean institutions from January 2002. They first had orientation session on the fellowship procedures and then had time to share their ideas and experiences that they had gained during application of the fellowship and their stay in host institutions. Most of them hoped that the ASEM-DUO Fellowship should be broadly informed to potential applicants, therefore many students and teachers who are interested in participating in exchange programs between Asia and Europe could take advantage of this fellowship.

Soon after a bit awkward icebreaking period, participants got together and had fun talking with having refreshments, and freely delivered their questions to the staffs and the Korean Ministry of Education officer. Many thanks and pleased remarks from the selected students and professors have been also presented to the ASEM-DUO Fellowship Programme at this meeting.
