SHARE is a project of ASEAN, represented by the ASEAN Secretariat and the ASEAN Senior Officials Meeting on Education (SOM-ED). Day-to-day implementation of SHARE is coordinated with the ASEAN secretariat’s Education, Youth and Sports Division (EYSD) under the ASEAN Socio-Cultural Community Department. On the EU side, SHARE implementation is coordinated with the EU Delegation in Jakarta.

A Programme Management Office (PMO) has been set up in the ASEAN Secretariat in Jakarta, Indonesia to coordinate the timely preparation and coordination of all SHARE activities with the project’s stakeholders and partners.

At national level in the ten ASEAN member states, target groups include:

• Government departments responsible for overseeing the higher education sector,
• University managers and faculty,
• Quality assurance agencies,
• Student associations and individual students.

Students and employers will directly benefit from SHARE as recipients of quality academic programmes delivering skills and knowledge, improved mobility and enhanced employability skills.

SHARE supports ASEAN’s ambition to build a regional higher education space in the region.
By the end of 2022, the following outcomes are envisaged:

• Enhanced harmonisation of ASEAN higher education area through the formulation of ASEAN higher education frameworks.
• Supported mutual recognition, student mobility, and equal opportunities for all – including female students and people with disabilities – among higher education institutions in ASEAN and strengthened people-to-people connectivity.
• Strengthened ties between ASEAN universities and increasing opportunities for EU-ASEAN university partnerships.

The SHARE Programme Management Office (PMO) is based in Jakarta, within the ASEAN Secretariat. The PMO coordinates the timely preparation and coordination of all general meetings and reporting.
