| What is UMAP?
(continued) UMAP is the acronym for the organization called University Mobility in Asia and the Pacific. UMAP was founded in 1993. It is a voluntary association of government and non-government representatives of the higher education (university) sector in the region. UMAP is a visionary plan to achieve university mobility in the Asia-Pacific region. It draws inspiration and insight from the European "Erasmus" program. UMAP aims to achieve enhanced international understanding through increased mobility of university students and staff. UMAP membership is open to countries, territories and special administrative regions (S.A.R.) within the Asia-Pacific. Members can be represented by government higher education departments or ministries, university umbrella organizations, or a combination of these. Individual institutions or persons are not eligible to be members. For more detailed information about UMAP and its history, please visit the UMAP website. |
