ASIAN-EUROPEAN Master of Science in Food Science and Technology Thailand
Asian-European Thailand executive training programme and research for agro-industry is a programme co-funded by the commission of the European Communities to raise the level of networking in education between Europe and Asia. The programme is organised by the consortium and all training sessions are hosted by Kasetsart University in Thailand. The project has been implemented since 2001 and
is centralized at SEAMEO-SEARCA in the Philippines with three other
partners from France, Malaysia and Thailand. Even with the success of the
first run, the project implementers will continuously improve the
programme as it offers its' second run from year 2003 to 2005. The
executive training program has been accepted internationally and will now
involve two news partners from the European region: United Kingdom and
Netherlands. This project is organized by the consortium from the
best universities and research institutions in Europe and Southeast Asia
and guarantees academic excellence. All members from the consortium work
collaboratively in terms of developing the course contents, selecting
international teaching and conducting student exchange research programmes
between Asia and European universities or institutions. With the utmost dedication of the collaborators of the consortium, this project promises an excellent and efficient training and research in food science and technology for the global food industry.The consortium consists of:

transferred through the intensive short training course.
Some examples of training topics are:
Research or Project Consulting for food industryWith the academic collaboration from the consortium,
the program offers a good opportunity for food industry to consult for
research or projects that may be pursued without concern for limitations

Research and projects will be conducted through student thesis under
the supervision of an academic member from the consortium.
The analysis part of research may be conducted in any
of the laboratories of the consortium, either in Europe or the Asian
region. The research results will only be disseminated to the private
company and depends on the contract agreed by the sponsoring company, the
