Greetings from the Secretariat for ASEM-DUO Fellowship. 

Beginning with our second phase (2006-2010) of ASEM-DUO Fellowship Programme, it is to our great pleasure to inform you that Thailand officially launched DUO-Thailand Fellowship on April 26, 2006. The deadline for the application period is by July 18, 2006. Under the auspices of the Commission on Higher Education in Thailand, this Fellowship invites new exchange program undertaken by two academic institutions above tertiary level, one Thai and the other located in the EU ASEM member countries, in order to strengthen or develop partnership relations.

Under the DUO-Thailand Fellowship, EU university students and professors can have financial supports for their exchange study, research and/or teaching in Thailand. Details of DUO-Thailand Fellowship including eligibility, criteria and application information are in the attachment for your information. I hope this information will be broadly spread in your higher education institutions, so that more people interested in exchanges with Thai institutions will have fellowship opportunities.

More information can be found on "DUO-Thailand" menu and application forms may be downloaded from :Applications and Forms" under DUO-Thailand.
