Toolkit
SUSTAIN EU-ASEAN will make available via its website a TOOLKIT supporting
researchers who want to engage in ASEAN-EU research collaboration in environemt
research areas
• up-to-date information on current examples and practices for cooperation
(projects, partners involved, etc.),
• analyses (on the funding environment, etc.), etc.
A particularly relevant part of SUSTAIN’s toolkit for strategic and sustainable
environmental research cooperation will be the establishment of a database of:
• funding opportunities as well as
• institutions and
• experts
relevant for ASEAN-EU environment research. Get involved!

Future
Finally, SUSTAIN EU-ASEAN will also work towards the identification of future
opportunities for joint ASEAN-EU research and innovation in environment-related
areas.
A stakeholder discussion process will be started in 2015 that builds on the current
analyses on existing cooperation and gaps in funding and that includes
considerations on future needs and priorities.
Although the outcome of this exercise will be directed at the funding and policy level, the
dialogue with researchers is essential. We will be in touch!
