At a recent Tokyo symposium, the Philippine government-hosted Southeast Asian Regional Center for Graduate Study and Research in Agriculture (Searca) pushed to link two university consortia that share interests in agriculture and related sciences.

The Southeast Asian University Consortium for Graduate Education in Agriculture and Natural Resources (UC), which was launched by Searca in 1989, counts among its members the University of the Philippines Los Baños (UPLB) and eight other leading agricultural universities in Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Japan, Canada and Germany.

On the other hand, 68 universities in Asean, Japan and Korea are participating in the Asean International Mobility for Students (AIMS) Programme, led by the Bangkok-based Southeast Asian Regional Center for Higher Education (Rihed). Four of the nine UC members are among the 68 universities in the AIMS Programme.
