Capacity Building in the field of higher education – EAC/A02/2019 – Joint Projects

Please note that, in accordance with Article 193 of the “Financial Regulation Applicable to the General Budget
of the Union”, grants cannot be awarded retroactively. This means that activities covered by the grant can
only be implemented as from the date on which the last party has signed the grant agreement.

As it might not in all cases be possible to sign the grant agreement for a selected proposal before the start
date indicated in the application, the project planning should ideally cater for this possibility.

If your work plan does not allow for the necessary flexibility to adapt to such an event and/or if you have
scheduled activities that must start on a particular date in the very early phase of the proposed action, you
should provide a justification. The justification should explain the reasons why the activities in question
cannot be postponed if the contract is not signed by 15 November 2020 or 15 January 2021) and need to
take place on the foreseen date.

If this is the case for your project, you should specify below the following (max 3000 characters):
• the date on which the consortium would need to start its project activities covered by the grant.
Only from this date on costs covered by the EU grant can be incurred;

• a detailed justification. The justification should explain why the activities foreseen (and their
corresponding costs) cannot be delayed and why such a delay would jeopardise the project’s
implementation.

Start date of project activity(ies):

Since 2004, the world has made as much plastic as it did in the previous half century and the member
states of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) are among the world’s biggest sources of
plastic pollution (Science Progress 2018, 101(3), 207). More than half of the plastic waste in the ocean
comes from just five Asian countries, among them Vietnam and Thailand (Source: Science, 2015, 347,
6223). Every year, 8 million tons of discarded plastic ends up in the ocean (Source: U.N. Environment
program 2017), and the situation is getting worse (Source: Nikkei Asia review, July 2019). A World
Economic Forum report (Jan. 2016) estimates that, unless we clean up our act, there will be more plastic
than fish in the ocean (by weight) by 2050. Among the plastic used in South-East Asia, plastic packaging,
including single use cutlery, is over-used compared to developed European countries, because of their
life style and consumption habits; for instance, in a new report, (Source: "The Future of Rigid Plastic
Packaging to 2022," Smithers Pira – June 2019) global rigid plastic packaging consumption in Asia
reaches, in 2017, 30% of the world total.
In this framework, higher education has a central role to play in Asia, in promoting new adapted trainings
to solve problems caused by excessive consumption of plastic packaging. Then alternative solutions to
plastic, including bio-based and biodegradable materials, and the development of circular economy-
based solutions will be considered. Also these new trainings will be focussed to new uses for the huge
amount of waste that already exist in South East Asia. Then, considering this, the selected approach for
the implementation of this project jointly with partners from the South-East Asia (SEA) region, results
from a double observation:
1. On the one hand, the mass of plastic materials synthetized from the fossil fuels in Asia is in constant
increase and the massive short-time-use of plastics, particularly in the packaging sector, coupled with a
mismanagement of plastics at their end of life, is leading to huge environmental consequences (Source:
Int J Life Cycle Assess ,2013, 18, 626). While the crisis is worldwide, the problem is primarily Asia’s, which
has become the destination for 75% of the world’s waste – much of it plastic (Source: Globe Media Asia -
July 2019). Moreover, the absence of sustainable solutions of replacement of plastics constitutes a key
point, even a bottle neck, for development and technology, in direct connection with higher education.
2. In addition, the implementation of high-level multidisciplinary trainings combining Physical Chemistry
of Polymer/Plastic Materials, Environment, Safety and Public Health, Technology and Economy, which
could help solve, in the years to come, the current environmental issue mentioned above, is incomplete
or even non-existent in some SEA countries.
This project associates 11 HEIs from 4 countries of SEA, i.e. Thailand, Vietnam, Laos and Myanmar.
Thailand is a huge consumer of single-use plastics, for example Thais use 70 billion plastic bags per year.
However, in 2017, Thailand pledged to reduce plastic use and has included waste management in its 20-
year national strategy, demonstrating this national priority. In addition, the Thai government wants to
cut plastic waste imports by 2021, compelling EU countries to find another destination for the thousands
of tons of plastic sent each month to Thailand for recycling purpose.
P8. Mahidol University
In spite the fact that MU is the first scientific university ranked in Thailand, this HEI observed that the
plastic packaging management and policy become urgent issues to be tackled, echoing the general
situation in Bangkok and Thailand and then a multidisciplinary training needs to be proposed.. The
Master Degree in Polymer Science and Technology program provides the full scientific knowledge in
polymer materials. Plastic waste management and utilization will be implemented as extra-curricular

INUTPac

Capacity Building in the field of higher education – EAC/A02/2019 – Joint Projects

activity for students in the initial period of the project. At a second step, the aspect of environment,
plastic waste management and social approach will implemented as part of the courses.
P9. Naresuan University
The department of Chemistry at NU has recently updated curricula in chemistry and industrial chemistry
for undergraduate and graduate levels. These curricula focus on the basic knowledge and applied
research in polymer materials, especially in bio-plastic materials and waste management. However, their
analysis led them to note that, until now there has not been any transverse curricula identified in the
multidisciplinary field of plastic packaging and its management.
P10. Prince of Songkla University
In the Southern region of Thailand, especially Pattani province, the amount of plastic waste is increasing,
due to the population growth. To ensure the proper management of solid waste, on its pattani campus,
PSU has established the “3R and green university” policy. Its main purpose in participating to INUTPac is
to focus on green chemistry and technology, for sustainable development of the Southern area of
Thailand. The subject courses, such as green food packaging technology, green industrial technology,
biodegradable polymer, waste management, etc. will be updated /developed within INUTPac.
P11. Songkhla Rajabhat University
SKRU is located in the area of Songkhla province, closed to the Songkhla lake, the largest natural lake in
Thailand. A recent study confirmed the presence of microplastics among the sand from beaches (Source:
Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2016, 116(1-2), 121). Additionally, SKRU has recently developed research on
bio-plastics made from starches and also the on plastic recycle, which can be an essential aspect to
illustrate alternative solutions in the new curricula developed in the frame of the INUTPac project.
P12. Ubon Ratchatani University
In the Northeast of Thailand, the population discards plastic waste and other rubbish along the banks of
the Mekong River or directly into the waterway. Improving the waste management systems and
introducing systems of waste prevention, collection, sorting and recycling are key actions for UBU to
tackle this issue and also explain its interest in the INUTPac project.
The situation is similar in Vietnam and a recent survey showed that the plastic pollution level in Vietnam
was 1,000 times higher than in Western countries. For example, according to a report, in Ho Chi Minh
City, about 250,000 tons of plastic waste is generated every year and 48,000 tons of which are buried in
landfills, while the other 200,000 tons are either recycled or discharged directly into the natural
environment (Source: VietNamNet Online Newspaper http://vietnamnet.vn – Environment section July
2018). Besides, the plastics recycling technologies used in Vietnam’s larger cities have become inefficient,
costly and polluting. In the end, actions to get plastic waste properly collected and recycled are not
organised on a large scale and are only executed by small companies which are mostly lacking of
qualified staff.
P13. Nong Lam Thu Duc University
Because Nong Lam University is one of the biggest university in the Southern part of Vietnam, it is of
great importance to implement such culture of plastic management in this HEI, which has not been done
up to now but has been identified as a real need by this partner.
P14. Hanoï University of Science and Technology
HUST, which is the biggest university in the North of Vietnam, will participate through its food
department which has the will to implement courses in the field of new packaging and INUTPac will
contribute to this policy.
In Myanmar, the situation is slightly different due to a lack of larger infrastructures, probably a lack of
awareness and a non-education of communities as well. However, the evidence demonstrating the
urgency of taking action is real. All the cities across the country are in urgent need of installations to
collect waste, as well as more space for landfills, where waste can be processed and properly managed.
Very often the waste ends up on streets, rivers or areas of cultural or natural significance such as Bagan,
the Shan State waterfalls or beaches (Frontier Myanmar-May 2017). Plastic pollution is a scourge in
Myanmar, even if there is a dearth of reliable statistics; only a rough estimation of approximately 80
million used bags per day has been made (Source: www.Myanmore.com, June 2018). Then plastic
pollution issue should be tackled at the policy level, but there is also an emergency to put in place
educational instruments to solve this problem.
P15 University of Yangon

INUTPac
Page 4 of 155
Capacity Building in the field of higher education – EAC/A02/2019 – Joint Projects

The authorities from the major cities like Yangon initiated efforts in replacing and reducing their
consumption of plastics; however, plastics are still viable options due to their durability. It is then
required to define new education priorities in HEIs and the INUTPac project appears essential for the
University of Yangon to do so.
P16. Mandalay University
The huge amount of plastic pollution can be observed in rural and urban areas of Myanmar, such as
Mandalay. Seminars, conferences, workshops and training programme are to be performed for the
conservation of this environment and implemented in Mandalay University in the frame of INUTPac.
The situation in Laos is slightly different from the other SEA countries participating in this project,
because of a low population (only 7 millions of inhabitants) and a country where 90% of the surface is
mountainous. That is why Laos’ major activities are dedicated to forestry, energy production (with the
Mekong river) and, more recently, tourism. The environmental situation in Laos is increasingly precarious
but very often the identified problems only concern deforestation or soil pollution. However, also
because tourism in Laos is the fastest growing economic sector at the moment, a huge amount of plastic
pollution can also be observed, for instance in Vientiane or Luang Prabang and no real policy has been
clearly defined yet (Source: The Indian Express, April 2019).
P17 National University of Laos
Packaging is a new area for the NUOL which do not have any specific study programme on this area at
the moment. That is why it expressed the need of capacity building, strengthening in terms of education,
curriculum development, university and industry linkage in this area.
P 18. Savannakhet University
In relation to the project’s theme, because SKU has the main goal to become first model in Laos (Source:
The Nation Thailand, January 2017) it now focuses on improving the environmental impact of plastic use
by empowering students with the disposal of garbage, plastic bottles or the enactment of laws. It also
implemented the use of condensing criteria for rubbing rubber. However, existing curricula in this field
need to be developed in the scope of the INUTPac project because no master degree has been
developed by P18 so far.
(Please add Partner Countries/partners as appropriate)

Please identify the target groups and their needs in each Partner Country and in each Partner Country
institution. (limit 8.000 characters)

The previous observations leads us to propose the creation of new/updated interdisciplinary curricula
which will fit exactly with the SEA regional priorities. These new curricula must focus, not only on the
current situation of plastics, but need to be based on the current R & D developments from the EU
participants, in order to provide and transfer via new trainings the best adapted solution in the near
future in SEA. Analysis shows also that university-enterprise cooperation is currently either lacking (Laos,
Myanmar) or underdeveloped (Thailand, Vietnam). This project also aims at fostering collaboration
between companies and universities on the model of what is made in Europe. Within this goal, 4
Companies from the 4 different SEA countries involved in this program agreed to be associate partners.
Then in this curriculum development program for each partner country and each partner institution the
targets groups are respectively:
- The students (including adults learners in the frame of lifelong learning process)
- The trainers (teachers as training for trainer)
- The enterprises
However, according to the institutions the quantitative targets and objectives are necessarily different as
developed below.
In Thailand, the Second 15-year long range plan on higher Education (2008-2022) (Source:
http://www.mua.go.th/) has multiple objectives, of which: 1) increase university staff/capacity building,
2) develop international programs, 3) train graduates of international quality and 4) improve faculty
members’ skills. However, the development of interdisciplinary curricula is still lacking.
P8. Department of Chemistry depending from the faculty of Science from Mahidol University will be
involved in the project. This department has 1 BSc program in Chemistry and 2 MSc programs, of which
one is Polymer Science and Technology. The 2 postgraduate programs include education plastics

INUTPac

Capacity Building in the field of higher education – EAC/A02/2019 – Joint Projects

packaging, however these programs do not include multidisciplinary courses. Then courses involving
basic knowledge in environment, social science, economics and finance will be proposed. Collaboration
with the Department of Biotechnology and Faculty of Public Health will be organized during the
program. MU also aims at bringing them experiences with industries before their graduation. A program
of industrial visits will also be included. The participants will be a group of 20 students each course and 2-
3 times a year.
P9. Naresuan University is deploying the concept of biomaterials in the Northern area of Thailand, in
order to have a mindset of BCG (Bio-economy, Circular economy and Green Economy) before they are
placed on the market. The 2nd cycle students interested by this field constitute the target group for this
HEI. 10 students will be considered each year.
P10 and P11. For Prince of Songkla University and Songkhla Rajabhat University (both in the South of
Thailand and with strong relationships), as a first step, the target groups are the lecturers who will be
trained in solid waste management, with impact of plastic waste on the community. Alternative solutions
to plastics like bio-based materials will be at the centre of the trainings. A total of 10 lecturers could be
involved in the project for Prince of Songkla University and 5 for Songkhla Rajabhat University (smaller
HEI). Additionally, acquired knowledge will be transferred to students and to the university supporting
staff and shared to the community and local education institutes, nearby PSU, Pattani campus. It is
expected that working waste management system should be improved by training staff from
governmental and private sectors in border area provinces.
P12. Ubon Ratchathani University (UBU). According to the situation in the Northeast of Thailand, UBU
wishes to develop new/updated curricula in order to train students, but also in the frame of continuous
education, staff from the private sector, to develop new skills in waste prevention, collection, sorting and
recycling. About 10 students, 5 lecturers and 10 adult learners (private employees, community
enterprise, government officer, academic staff, etc.) will be concerned each year.
In the last few years, Vietnam has moved from a Soviet higher education model to a Western-styled one.
The country has restructured its higher education system to face larger enrolment of students and
greater student diversity, new curricula and introduction of new teaching methods. Vietnam’s Higher
Education Reform Agenda (HERA) (Source: Reforming Higher Education in Vietnam , P.T. Nghi and J.D.
London, 2009, 51), a plan approved by the government for the comprehensive reform of higher
education system by 2020, has forecasted an evolution of the enrolment profile, whereby 80% of student
will attend institutions providing professionally-oriented training programs. Among the identified targets,
the training of trainers, the reinforced link with the socio-economic world appear as a strong need.
P13 and P14 Nong Lam University and Hanoï University of Science and Technology have also identified
those needs. It is important for Universities in Vietnam to develop education courses in the field of
packaging, focusing on principal areas such as materials, operations and application; and on packaging
properties and fabrication. Especially, the recent application of biodegradable food packaging replacing
the plastic containers will be introduced in new curricula. For each Vietnamese HEI participating a target
group of 10 students and 5 trainers will be identified each year
Myanmar is still at a beginning stage in the aspect of higher education quality improvement and is
confronting key challenges in its higher education system. As mentioned in a recent article (Source: DOI:
10.20472/IAC.2016.023.028, 2016), the major challenges concern: 1) student equity and access due to
the geographic distribution of the Burmese universities, 2) language, particularly in higher education can
be a barrier , especially for those in the remote areas 3) Information technology and facilities, 4)
Weakness of research has negative consequences on the level of curricula especially at master level 5)
Human resources.
These general needs will be taken into account in the frame of INUTPac project (except reinforcement of
research which is not the goal of CBHE).
Both for the University of Yangon and Mandalay University (P15 and P.16), the huge amount of plastic
pollution can be observed in rural areas due to 1) a lack of awareness 2) no sharing of knowledge 3)
education of communities towards the protection of their environment. Moreover, chemistry curricula
are classically orientated on the polymer chemistry from petroleum products. Then curricula need to be
adapted for instance including teaching in biodegradable polymers. Additionally, packaging industry is
expected to be the largest industry in Myanmar and newly emerged packaging materials are requested
by the market. Development on recycling plastics and packaging industries must be relayed in the

INUTPac

Capacity Building in the field of higher education – EAC/A02/2019 – Joint Projects

Myanmar Universities with progressive and adapted training. As a first step the target group concerns
the trainers. The goal in each university is to train a team of 5 lecturers per year during the program.
The key objectives for Laos in the five-year Education Sector Development Plan (ESDP) (2016-2020)
(source: http://www.moes.edu.la) is built on the policies and strategies of the government to enable the
Lao PDR to be eligible to move up from the ranks of the least developed countries by 2020. The Ministry
of Education recognises that there have been difficulties in implementing new methods of teaching due
to the lack of skills among teachers, unsuitable curricula and lack of materials (Source: MOE, 2009).
Additional obstacles related to contextual factors such as school education traditions, gender and
ethnicity also exist.
P17 and P18. Thus the INUTPac project for National University of Laos and Savannakhet university fits
perfectly with these needs and target groups: 1) necessity to train the teaching staff to new technologies
and new multidisciplinary contents, 2) involve institutions from remote areas in order to favor
integration of disadvantaged socio-economic population. The participation of Savannakhet university will
also allow to 3) favor gender equality in education, 4) and tackle a more general issue: how new
educational fields meet Lao traditions from socialism, Buddhism and local gender and ethnic relations.
Similarly to Myanmar, as a first step the target group concerns the trainers. Also the goal in each
participating university is to train a pedagogical team of 5 lecturers per year during the program in
agreement with objectives previously underlined.
(Please add partner countries/partners as appropriate)

How will the project address the relevant thematic national/regional priorities (see
https://eacea.ec.europa.eu/erasmus-plus/funding/capacity-building-higher-education-2019_en) set by the
Programme for its target country (ies)/region(s)? (limit 8.000 characters)

INUTPac will be a joint project in the “curriculum development” category.


For Asia (region 6) there are only regional priorities which perfectly fit with the objectives of this project:
- Environment is a regional priority for curriculum development in Region 6. INUTPac is typically devoted
to this priority by proposing educational solutions, more specifically in relation to plastics management.
Plastics is one of the major issues for environment today.
- Learning and teaching tools, methodologies and pedagogical approaches including learning
outcomes and ICT-based practices: these are included in the Work Package on curriculum development
(WP2).
- Concerning the priorities of multidisciplinarity and interdisciplinarity, INUTPac is typically
oriented according to this approach; actually it will join competencies at the frontier of chemistry,
physics, polymer, biotechnology, public health, environment, manufacturing, economy and human
sciences. We need knowledge in chemistry and polymer chemistry because plastics are polymers issued
from petrochemistry or bio-based materials, it is then necessary to overcome the methods of synthesis
and elaboration of these kinds of materials. Additionally, physics will be useful for characterization of
plastics and know-how to detect them in different environments: soil, water etc... Basic knowledge in
biology, including bacteria, cells, etc. will be very useful to understand the interactions between
materials and environment. The future of plastic packaging in the environment with the possible
introduction in the food chain (especially fishes) has consequences on public health which need to be
assessed. The sustainable development of SEA countries involves education in the environment
preservation, which will constitute a significant part of this project. Finally, human sciences are important
on different aspects: geographic impacts, economy and communication for the public at large.
Moreover, these additional regional priorities for joint projects will also be addresses in project for
curriculum development:
- University-enterprise cooperation: the participation of 4 enterprises which accept to be
associated partners, at the beginning of the project, will be the starting point of a more developed
regional network. During the implementation of the project, the implementation of new courses in
curricula concerning innovative packaging, environmentally friendly, will be a source of transfer in
enterprises. The target group of trainers in each partner country will be in charge of this part. The
participation of enterprises in this network and the active involvment in courses will bring a strong added

INUTPac

Capacity Building in the field of higher education – EAC/A02/2019 – Joint Projects

value for their communication policy. Beyond this point, the program will contribute to improve the
employability of students and to adapt the recruitments criterions.
- Equity, access and democratization of higher education. This priority is indirectly involved in the project
by the implication of universities of remote areas especially in Laos and Myanmar.
(Please add Partner Countries/regions as appropriate)

D.2 Aims and objectives

− What does the proposal aim at in general? What are the project’s specific objectives?
− Explain how the specific objectives of the project address the problems mentioned in Part D1 and the needs
of each target group in each Partner Country. Demonstrate also that the set objectives are realistic and
feasible in the national and institutional context(s).

Nowadays, the plastic-derived product has become a useful and indispensable commodity for many
different purposes. A huge amount of throw-away plastics causes environmental hazards, threatening
marine life, reducing soil fertility and leading to pollution of ground waters. Contending with this colossal
plastic waste, especially the one issued from packaging, is particularly challenging for Southeast Asian
countries, which are still immense consumers of this kind of materials, and where waste management is
not well-organised.
Overall, approximately 300 million tons of plastic products are produced annually (Source:
https://www.statista.com/statistics/282732/global-production-of-plastics-since-1950/), about half of
which are single-use products (Source: https://plasticoceans.org/the-facts/). Considering ocean
pollution, the amount of dumped plastic waste entering the ocean has then reached critical levels. On
current trends, the global quantity of plastic contained in the ocean could nearly double to 250 million
metric tons by 2025—or one ton of plastic for every three tons of fish (Source:
https://oceanconservancy.org/trash-free-seas/plastics-in-the-ocean/).
From major cities such as Bangkok (Thailand) or Ho Chi Minh City (Vietnam) to beach resorts in Thailand
and Vietnam, plastic bags, food packaging and bottles are the ubiquitous face of pollution in the region.
Note that five Asian countries –among them Vietnam and Thailand - account for up to 60 percent of the
plastic waste leaking into the ocean according to a report published by the “Environmental campaigner
Ocean Conservancy” in 2015 (the other concerned Asian countries are China, Indonesia and Philippines).
These Asian economies have generated exploding demand for consumer products, but lacked the waste
management infrastructures to tackle the surge in plastic garbage. In addition, this major issue of waste
packaging is similarly becoming as significant in emerging countries like Laos and Myanmar.
Then, considering that SEA countries are among the fastest growing economies worldwide and represent
the region where the bulk of the world's plastic is produced, consumed and discarded, it appears
essential to reinforce capacities at higher educational level; in order to educate the new generation
about a sustainable regional development.
Thus, the main objective of this project will be to develop, with the support of specialists and well-known
expert partners in EU - France, Spain, Poland, Germany, Turkey -, an educational policy with the
development of dedicated curricula in HEIs, Thailand, Vietnam, Laos and Myanmar. The specific objective
are:
1) Analysis of the situation of plastic packaging management, taking into consideration its
environmental impact
2) Take stock of the higher education curricula existing in this transdisciplinary field in the partner
countries involved in this project
3) Implement new/updated curricula on plastic packaging management: from the chemical
synthesis to the application and end-life cycle
4) Develop enterprise-university cooperation in the field of alternative (new bio-based) materials
with recycling strategy. This cooperation will start with student internships.
All these described objectives are fully common to the partner countries participating to the project, i.e.
Thailand, Vietnam, Laos and Myanmar.

The necessity of new curricula (or updated curricula) is stemming from recent research in this area of
plastic pollution including the development of alternative, new and environmentally friendly materials,
especially for packaging. Within this goal, 3 key factors are generally considered. First, the reduction of
the dependence on petroleum-based materials, while moving towards renewable sources to produce
plastics, which would decrease the release of old carbon to atmosphere. Secondly, the use of new
biobased polymers for packaging would allow the treatment of the package after its use in the same way
as an organic compostable residue, therefore contributing to the reduction of plastic solid waste that it is
destined for landfill, soils, oceans or incineration. Thirdly, to promote the circular economy in SEA
countries.
However, even in Thailand, the necessity of new curricula appears because it exists in each partner
University chemistry master(s) (or polymer masters) or bachelor with classical approach (synthesis
methods, characterisation, applications of polymers) or environment master with geographical or
economical approach but IT DOES NOT exist yet, a multidisciplinary approach including complementary
competencies from the “hard” sciences up to the human sciences. The main reason is coming from a
disconnect between the scientific trainings always integrated in a Faculty of Science and the
environmental management depending of recent created departments of environment but depending
generally from faculties of natural resources or agriculture. Then the curricula in environment are a
strongly orientated towards management, geography economy or natural resources without coupling
with science approach. Additionally, the public health problems potentially involved by chemicals
(including plastics) are addressed in different faculties (or schools) like health and food technology.
In Thailand, Mahidol University, which will be the SEA co-coordinator of this project, is endowed with
strong international infrastructures and high level educational infrastructures. Its participation (1st
scientific university according to Thailand ranking) will facilitate the implementation of the objectives of
this project thanks to its experience.
For Vietnam, statistics show that 50 percent of Vietnamese university graduates are unable to find jobs
in their area of specialisation (Source: WENR World Education News + Reviews – Education Vietnam –
Nov. 2017), evidence that the gap between classroom and the needs of the market is large.
Consequently, the implementation of vocational training on plastic packaging appears essential. In 2006,
the Law on Vocational Training defined the institutions and qualification levels in Vietnam and this
reform has favoured professional and interdisciplinary skills. In this project, HUST is one of the biggest
universities of Vietnam with previous experience in developing professional curricula and also in the
management of European Capacity building programs. Nong Lam university in Ho Chi Minh City is also
typically a university where Educational curricula are inter-disciplinary in nature, aiming at providing a
rich and diverse knowledge base for students. The feasibility of this project will then be also be facilitated
in this institution.
As mentioned by the Myanmar Times in 2017 (Source: National News – 30/08/2017), the entire
educational system from basic to higher level is quite deficient in Myanmar. This deficient system is the
result of the past five decades of international isolation, misunderstanding and mismanagement of the
nature and role of education in terms of national development. The present situation in higher education
in the universities is quite deficient to say the least. However now, the current national policy in place is
striving to rectify and reform the system. The University of Yangon in particular, which was one of the
most prestigious universities in SEA and one of the top universities in Asia, attracting students from
across the region, has shown a strong interest in taking part to this project.
For Mandalay university, the participation of the rector herself in the implementation of the project
confirms the strong involvement of the HEI in the project, together with its feasibility.
In 2016, The Asian Development Bank and the government of Laos signed grant and loan assistance
agreements for more than 382,2 billion kip (US$64.9 million) to improve education quality and to ensure
that graduates have sufficient skills to meet labour market demands. Within this frame, one of the
objectives of NUOL is to provide the best job opportunities for the university’s graduates, inside the
country, or in the SEA region and to enable them to become accomplished professionals. In this way, this
proposal around professional and interdisciplinary curricula corresponds to a priority objective of the HEI
which ensures approval from its highest authorities.

Please explain how the planned activities and the expected results meet the needs of the identified target
groups in the Partner Countries (limit 6.000 characters)

In Thailand, the government has set up a subcommittee to accelerate the plastic waste management
with the goal of at least halving the use of plastic in the next five years (Source: Bangkok Post – July
2018). To achieve this goal, they must start to educate people via students in high school, university, to
be followed by family and public. The idea to reduce the amount of plastic waste is now based on using
plastic material as much as profitability, being able to reuse and recycle or remanufacture. Development
of new plastic material that can be bio-degraded or use less amounts of materials for producing a specific
product is one of the strategic plans. The designed training courses and transfer technology based on
update recent research will be done by this INUTPac project. In addition, the students trained from this
project (in partners P8, 9, 10,11 12 ) will be effectively contributing to reduce the plastic uses thanks to
adapted professional skills. The trainers trained in this field (partner P10 and P11) will guarantee
sustainable training over time (especially after the project is finished). The adults trained from this
project in UBU Partner (P12) will contribute to educate the people in Bangkok and suburb, by P8, local
population in a remote area of the country, Northern part by P9, Southern part by P10 and P11 and
Northeastern part by P12. The involvement of private companies (see for instance PTT Global Chemical
(PTTGC) in Thailand as associated partner) will induce in enterprises a new approach for plastic market.
In Vietnam, as previously mentioned, improvement of education on the use of plastic bags and research
on production and use of alternative food packaging, which less affects environment and human health,
is highly important. Recently, Vietnamese government has issued several regulations on reduction of
solid plastic waste and their classification at household. However, more actions should be carried out as
the use of plastic bags is not reduced and pollute severely the environment, even the ocean. Therefore,
the planned activities of INUTPac concerning new education especially will play an important role in this
context to help Vietnamese to understand the importance of reduced consumption of plastic bags. The
target groups in Vietnam HEIs, for this program i.e. trainers first, followed by students, for both
Vietnamese universities in the program (P13 and P14) will evidently contribute to this national policy,
thanks to new adapted curriculum and new multidisciplinary approach.
In Myanmar plastic items such as single use bags, bottles, food packaging such as styrofoam products
and straws are now widely used across the country. Public awareness to growing plastic waste as litter
and rapid increases in plastic waste generation are priority concerns not only in major cities such as
Yangon, Mandalay but also in all parts of the country. Recent survey revealed that high contamination of
28,000 microplastic particles per square kilometer has been recorded in coastal area of Myanmar
(Source: Source: Thant Myanmar & Flora and Fauna International - July 2019). Although banning the use
of single use plastics especially plastic packaging materials is empowered, the throwaway plastic
materials can still be found in every dumpsite and are aesthetically unacceptable. Plastic pollution issue
is facing enormously for Myanmar plastic waste situation and management. The large scale users of
plastic packaging such as Nestlé, Unilever and Coca-Cola gathered to form an industry-led movement to
step up the recycling of plastic in Myanmar. This initiative can be supported by policy makers by forcing
producers to use recycled plastic in their products. The Environmental Conservation Department,
Myanmar is currently in the process of drafting their "Master Plan for Solid Waste Management".
Universities, industries and government need to work together and support the development of
sustainable alternatives. Research and development in alternative packaging materials can phase out
single use plastics gradually. Recycling is one of the options that can stimulate the creation of
microenterprises in Myanmar. Revitalization processes of Myanmar universities are on-going and the
results of the INUTPac project will contribute effectively to the objectives of the action as follows:
1. The major challenges and barriers for reducing plastics waste can be identified and stimulate
prevention and recycling of plastics waste.
2. The interdisciplinary curricula including scientific and economics aspects can be developed for the
management of packaging involved in this project. The train trainers (5 each year of the project ) will
have impact on the new generation of students and then on the civil society.
3. INUTPac program will be an opportunity for Mynamar HEIs to be involved in an international network
between SEA and EU.

4. This Erasmus project will be fund innovation for pushing circular model in recycling and emerging
alternative packaging.
From a general perspective, the activities concerning plastic packaging is a new area for Laos HEIs
because it does not exist in any university of the country (including the biggest one i.e. National
University of Laos -partner of this project) or in any specific study programme on this area at the
moment. Then, Laos HEIs need a lot of this capacity building program in terms of curriculum
development, university and industry linkage, but also scholarship for young faculty members to pursue
their master studies. Because of these identified needs, all the mentioned activities perfectly fit with the
Lao target group’s needs, especially the young lecturers trained.

How will the project and its results contribute effectively to the objectives of the action Capacity-Building in
the Field of Higher Education in each targeted Partner Country? (limit 6.000 characters)

In Thailand, recent approaches, such as promotion and introduction of eco-packaging materials and eco-
friendly plastic substitution, development of the material flow for plastic containers and packaging
inventory, implementation of the 3Rs (reduce–reuse–recycle) strategy for plastic debris management
and the promotion of education for relevant stakeholders in the field of plastics and its alternative
materials have only just begun to be initiated in the Thai HEIs. The INUTPac project will then contribute
effectively to reinforce the capacities of Thai HEIs in this field. Note also that the problem of plastic
packaging management is acute not only in Bangkok and central part where the population is immense,
but also in remote areas, such as Isan, in the Northeast of the country; this project will also help
providing educational opportunities for students from all provinces and specifically those from this area.
In the South part, where the issue of microplastics is huge (sea coasts), INUTPac will contribute to solve
this environmental difficulty, for instance in the Songkhla lake basin, by an adapted higher education
program.
It is important for Universities in Vietnam to develop education course in the field of packaging focusing
on principal areas such as materials, operations and application; and on properties and fabrication of
packaging. Furthermore, innovation on application of biodegradable food packaging replacing the plastic
bags is highly necessary. For example, it includes the implementation of innovative biodegradable
packaging which will be teached in the new curricula developed with this program. Production and
application of thinner plastic bags, as a first step in the short-term, will also be considered. Within this
framework the INUTPac project will highly contribute in Vietnam to develop higher education capacities.
In Myanmar, the curriculum development implementation will be done with the help of experts from EU
HEIs. The strengthening of capacities of the Myanmar students and staff in higher education wil be
performed through the different activities (WPs) (training of trainers, seminars, conferences and
workshops), as planned in INUTPac. The implementation of new teaching resources, for instance
concerning new biomaterials, could be also very interesting for the development of new relations with
socio-economic world in Myanmar.
The Universities in Laos are generally young institutions having limited financial resources, insufficient
qualified staff (as an example, only 150 staff members with PhD degrees in National University of Laos)
and basic infrastructures (e.g. no laboratory on plastic packaging production). The participation of Laos
HEIs will contribute to improve their capacity in terms of education in this area. The objectives of the
capacity building action will be achieved through curriculum development, training for faculty members
and staff from private sector. Though plastic waste is still a minor environmental issue in Laos at the
moment (environmental problems are more related to deforestation), the project will raise awareness
on the future impacts of plastic waste on environment.

How do the project's objectives fit in with the modernisation and internationalisation agenda of the targeted
higher education institutions in the Partner Countries and with the development strategy for higher education
in each Partner Country involved in the project? (limit 6.000 characters)

Thailand is a leading country in SEA Asia for higher education and the current policy is included in the
Thailand 4.0 program (October 2018 – model to reach for 2032), goal of which is to transform the Thai
economy to one driven by innovation and entrepreneurship. Among the objectives, environmental
protection is a major one, because Thai government has fixed to the country needs to possess an
economic system capable of adjusting to climate change and low carbon society. This goal is mainly
addressed in the INUTPac project, in so far as the reduction of packaging coming from petro-chemistry
has to be one of the main final consequence and achievements of this project, with the implementation
of new/updated curricula. This plan also wishes to ensure that at least 5 Thai universities are ranked
amongst the world’s top 100 higher education institutions within 20 years; there is no doubt that the
participation of 5 Thaïs universities, equally distributed throughout the territory and including the 1st
scientific one (Mahidol University-P8) at this moment in a EU Capacity Building program will contribute
to this general objective.
Vietnam has recently adopted a higher education reform agenda that will bring a transformation of the
higher education system by 2020 (Source: Hayden, M., & Thiep, L. Q. ,2015, International Higher
Education, (44) 2015, doi.org: 10.6017/ihe.2006.44.7913). The agenda reflects themes in the experience
of many less-developed economies seeking to mobilize their intellectual capital through a sustained
investment in higher education. The ambitiousness of this plan is especially noticeable in the goal of
developing a system of quality assurance and accreditation for Vietnamese higher education; INUTPac
will participate at its own level on the improvement of quality assurance by bringing the regulations and
methods of EU partners. The country also has seen an immense request for more vocational and job
training options: INUTPac will answer to this demand by providing new/updated multidisciplinary
curricula in direct connection with the economy of packaging.
To fully realise the benefits of a quality national education system, the Government of the Republic of
Myanmar has implemented a new National Education Strategic Plan (NESP) for the 2016-2021 period.
(Source:http://www.moe-st.gov.mm/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/NESP_20Summary_20-
_20English_20-_20Final_20-_20Feb_2023.pdf). Among the different objectives fixed by this plan, is the
need to improve the quality of teaching, learning, infrastructure and management in Universities.
Myanmar’s higher education system needs significant improvement in terms of quality-related
dimensions, such as curriculum, learning environment, and teaching processes. INUTPac will meet this
need by a complete program aiming at training the future trainers in the field targeted by the project.
Concerning the implementation of curricula, one the major challenges is to redesign the education
curricula in line with the 21st century skills, which is one of our objectives concerning INUTPac, since the
field is very challenging for chemistry production and more generally to the SEA packaging market.
For Laos, the key objective of the five-year Education Sector Development Plan (2016-2020)
(Source: http://www.moes.edu.la/moes/images/publication/finalreport.pdf) serves as reference
document for development of programmes supporting educational development and creating
opportunities for all Lao citizens to have equitable access to quality education. One of the main
objectives which is in perfect adequation with INUTPac, is to create a favourable opportunity for
students and youth to acquire highly qualified knowledge, so that they are ready to enter the labour
market or continue their study in vocational institutes or in higher education. The main objective to
introduce multidisciplinary curricula together with sustainable and professional targets corresponds then
perfectly to this national plan. The creation of centre of excellence for environment in NUOL is included
in this National plan and the implementation of new curricula in this INUTPac program fit perfectly with
this objective. Also the goal to reach 45000 students in Lao Universities for 2020 (32388 in 2018) is in
agreement with the reinforcement of capacities as dedicated in INUTPac program.
(Please add Partner Countries/partners as appropriate)

Please explain how the proposal will pay attention to the issues of inclusion, diversity and socio-economically
disadvantaged participants and/or organisations in the Partner Countries. (limit 2.000 characters)

In Thailand the participation of universities located in the Southern part of the country (Pattani campus
of PSU and SKRU) will ensure the participation of students coming from minorities, especially from those
with non-Buddhist culture. Additionally, the participation of UBU located in the Northeastern part of
Thailand, in Isan, is a guarantee to involve socio-economically disadvantaged population. Actually, Isan is

INUTPac
Page 12 of 155
Capacity Building in the field of higher education – EAC/A02/2019 – Joint Projects

home of one-third of Thailand's 67 million citizens, but contributes only ten percent to the national GDP
(Source: Britanica Online Encyclopedia); Isan is Thailand's poorest region.
In Vietnam, the Northern and Southern parts of the country are represented throughout 2 large and
well-known universities. This repartition will ensure a diverse recruitment for students but also for staff
in charge of the future curricula.
In Myanmar, Mandalay University is located in the Northern part of the country and wish to increase
collaborative engagement with local and global communities in response to the changing needs of the
Burmese society, and to contribute to the advancement of knowledge of all stakeholders in the region
(Source: https://www.mu.edu.mm/). Then, this participation will contribute to the diversity, especially
comparing to the participants of the University of Yangon.
For Laos, apart NUOL in Vientiane, the Savannakhet University is located in the central region where it
aims at providing equal access to higher education for both the urban and rural people, in particular,
underprivileged people from rural and remote areas. The presence of this university in INUTPac is then
essential for this aspect. Also SKU policy is aligned with the socio-economic development strategy of the
3 provinces (Savannakhet, Khammouane and Bolikhamxay) contributing to diversify the Lao participants.
The WP6 managed by HSF-Idstein and NLU Hochiminhcity, which have experience in such selection
process for students coming from disadvantaged population and also the recruitment of trainers
according to standard processes, will be devoted at all these aspects. WP 7.3 is also devoted to the
organisation of information to populations from remote areas.

D.3 Innovative character


Demonstrate why the proposal is innovative.
If it is complementary to previous/existing funded projects nationally or internationally please explain how
the new proposal build on it/them and demonstrate its added value and why it is not a simple continuation
thereof. (limit 2.000 characters)

The project is using several innovative approaches offering to the involved partners the opportunity to
cross-fertilize, reinforce or adapt existing practices and introduce new methodologies:
• Curriculum development: The new curricula will include strong knowledge in basic chemistry and
physics science associated to soft skills BUT also a strong connection with socio-economic world with the
objective of environmentally friendly materials. This multidisciplinary objective is fully innovative
because non existing in all the SEA selected partners. The use of ICT and new learning methodologies,
the input from enterprises on the definition of the learning outcomes and skills needed of future
employees. This will lead to better trained and more autonomous young professionals in the field;
besides a special focus will be made on ensuring that the environmental issues and the employability of
trained professionals match. This point is important especially because the environmental training
courses in SEA are still rare and generally not connected to the professional needs.
• Train the trainers: the project will deliver 45 trained trainers with extensive knowledge in different
interdisciplinary fields, which is now lacking or suboptimal (teaching methodologies, entrepreneurship,
soft skills...). These trainers will on their turn train other academic staff in their HEIs so that the scope of
training is enlarged with a multiplier effect.
• Enterprise-University cooperation: Because, at the beginning of the program, 4 enterprises are yet
involved, the professional approach in the curriculum development will be with the vision of a close link
with the socio-economic world. Note that the university-enterprise cooperation is still underdeveloped in
the region, and innovation management is a valuable asset. The EU HEIs partners HEIs will contribute to
reinforce this aspect;
• Networking: This programme is based to initiate a large network of 18 universities (7 in EU +11 in SEA)
in the chosen field. This multidisciplinary network on new packaging of both HEIS at national and regional
level will lead to a more sustainable and mutualized exchange of experience.

D.4 European added value


Why is there a need for cooperation with the Programme Countries in this area of activity and a funding via
the Erasmus+ Programme? Why can the intended results not be achieved through national, regional or local
funding in the Partner Countries? (limit 2.000 characters)

The project is set up as an international network, whereby best practices are shared not only with and in
between SEA partners, but also among the European partners. A strength of the partners is their
complementary experience and expertise and hence the project exceeds the scope of national, regional
or local funding. Some have a long-standing partnership with Thailand and Vietnam, and most are
starting to explore cooperation with Laos and Myanmar.
For the most part, accreditation processes are complex and training in Southeast Asia is highly
disciplinary. Multidisciplinary masters are very rare in SEA and CBHE programmes can thus provide a
clear impetus. European financial support should help drive curriculum change.
Also regarding their scientific, educational and networking know-how the European partners lack the
capacity to individually tackle the challenges described, especially because of the transdisciplinary
character of the project. The complementary competencies, i.e. biodegrable polymers in Poland,
environment in Germany, engineering in new polymers and plastics vs agriculture in Spain, methods of
detection in Turkey and microplastics and new characterizations technics in France, bring a very broad
and unique field of expertise. Thanks to this possibility of CBHE funding, this EU expertise matched with
the huge problem of plastics in SE Asia, will constitute the right answer to this multivariable thematic,
especially in the frame of curriculum development.
The regional network of Asian HEI in this program is interesting for EU partners, in terms of investment
for future delivering technology and knowledge.
The INUTPac project will be beneficial for both the Asian and European partners with respect, in the
future, to new development in the bio-based and/or biodegradable packaging materials sector based on

INUTPac
Page 14 of 155
Capacity Building in the field of higher education – EAC/A02/2019 – Joint Projects

the extraordinary opportunity to explore innovation in the Asian countries. In the medium term context
European companies can establish new business relationships with relatively less engaged Asian
countries in the multi sector of bio packaging. Further, European partners will get access to local
information on the Asian plastic packaging sector.

PART E – Quality of the Project Design and Implementation


E.1 Project activities and methodology
Please provide a detailed description of the activities and the working methodology to be used for achieving
the objectives (including major milestones, measurable indicators, etc.). (limit 6.000 characters)

The main activities of this program are linked to the development of new transverse and interdisciplinary
curricula including scientific and transverse aspects for the management of plastic packaging and the
innovation in bio-based, biodegradable and recyclable materials for a sustainable development of South-
East Asia. They can be decomposed as follow:

1.The first activity, directly described in WP1 correspond to the context analysis with precise analysis of
plastic policy packaging in each partner country. This step will be followed by the study of all curricula
which could be identified in this field including mono-thematic trainings (for instance all those dedicated
to polymers, bio-polymers…). A comparison of the teaching content adopted by each course will be very
useful in order to take advantage of these existing experiences. Indicators will be SWOT analyses on
existing curricula and situation of plastics in each partner country (this last SWOT analysis will include
scientific aspects, statistics, legal aspects…). This activity will end at the 3rd month (M3-1st year in Work
plan).

2.The main second activity correspond, following the analysis of the situation in SEA, to the curriculum
implementation. This activity is directly included in WP2.The role and the expertise of all EU partners will
be here central. The new curricula will be of course designed and adapted according to needs in each SEA
University, however common needs will be implemented: i) scientific aspects on structure, synthesis and
characterization of plastics materials, including biopolymers, bio-based materials. This aspect will benefit
of the experience of Lleida University (P4). ii) the approach on recycling and long life cycle of materials
will be driven by University of Seville (P5) according to it’s experience in this field. iii) the specific training
concerning food packaging including public health precaution will be organised by Hacettepe University
(P7) considering the important Food engineering department in this HEI. iv) Teaching concerning
technological developments will be managed by Poznan University of Life Sciences (P2). v) The teachings
linked to environment (effects of pollutants, microplastics…) with a scientific and societal approach will
be managed by University of applied Science Fresenius in Germany because of their experience. Acquires
a comprehensive vision of packaging and ecodesign applied to the circular economy will be included in
the same item. vi) pedagogical aspects (new methods of teachings) will be organized by Gazi University.
vii) the economical approach will be jointly done by SEA HEIs partners (Mahidol in Thailand, HUST in
Vietnam) and Asian enterprises included in the program as associated partners.
Even if EU partners will bring their strong expertise, each SEA partner will be also efficiently contributing
to the definition of curricula according to it’s own speciality: 1) the 5 Thaïs partners have strong
competencies in materials, from synthesis to characterisation and also waste management, 2) the 2
Vietnamese participants will bring expertise in food packaging including public health problems, 3) The 2
universities in Myanmar will contribute about the industrial chemistry aspects 4) the 2 Lao universities
will focuss on environmental consequences (including agriculture). The definition of the trainings
modules will be organised from the months M3 to M12 of the first year and M1 to M6 of second year.
Indicators will correspond to number of courses syllabus and production of teaching supports.

Jointly to this step of definition of new curricula, purchase of equipment for SEA partners will be
implemented. Mainly the request is concerning scientific equipment’s for synthesis, analysis and
characterization of new biopolymers with the goal to familiarize students with industrial characterization
tools used in R&D processes in industries. Only in HEIs less equipped with updated ICT technologies
(Partner P12 Ubon Ratachtani University in Thailand, P15 and P16 Myanmar Universities and P17 and
P18 Lao Universities), new computing and communication equipment’s are planned to be bought in
order to organize e-learning sessions and conferences sessions for trainers. This step will be done at

INUTPac
Page 16 of 155
Capacity Building in the field of higher education – EAC/A02/2019 – Joint Projects

months M1,2, 3 of the second year. Indicator correspond to the ratio “actual purchase” vs “ planned
purchase”.

3.Other main activity complementary to the implementation of curriculum is the training of trainers. It
will be divided into 3 tasks: i) dedicated workshop (in Mandalay University) on 2 weeks realised between
the months M5 and M8 of the first year, ii) Study visit at the 5 involved EU HEIs of a strong group of
trainers (23 persons) during the months M9 or M10 of the first year. iii) Local training by the trainers in
order to obtain a multiplier effect. This could begin during the second year, as soon as possible, ideally
from months M1 to M6 of the second year. Indicators will be the numbers of trained trainers,
questionnaires about the workshop and study visits.

4.Development of a regional network between SEA HEIs and SEA Enterprises for multiple goals: i)
organization of professional internships, ii) improvement of employability, iii) introduction of new
methods for a sustainable development in plastic packaging. Involvement of SE Asian industries in some
training modules of new curricula and in the constituted network for a development of new approaches
in plastic packaging field connected to the perspective of a new sector of employment requiring new
skills. Indicators are: 1) number and name/identification of packaging industries in Asia, 2) statistics
about previous interactions between packaging industries and southeast Asian universities, 3) exhaustive
list of program offered to EU-ASIA cooperation including private industries/companies. A specific
Workshop on 8 days will be organized in Laos (with partner P17) on month M9 of the first year. This
activity refers to WP4.

Please demonstrate that the activities and the methodology mentioned are the most appropriate to achieve
the envisaged results and that they are feasible. (limit 3.000 characters)

The working methodology will be organised as follow:


1.Preparatory phase
This part will consist of 2 SWOT analyses: i) concerning the situation in SEA on plastic packaging, ii) the
existing Asian curricula and a review of the EU curricula, to see which matches can be found. Different
aspects will be investigated: teaching, learning and assessment methodologies, learning outcomes,
handbooks/training materials, practical works, etc. This phase will be completed by M3 1st year.
2.Curricula development
Each EU partner will bring specific and complementary competencies, from the scientific approach up to
the implementation of soft skills. The feasibility of this development is demonstrated by using the skills
specific to each EU institution. The adaptation between the content of a curriculum at master level in EU
and the equivalent in SEA, with the different Asian constraints, will be especially managed by HUST in
Hanoï (P14) which has the experience of 2 previous CBHE programs.
For the scientific equipment which will be purchased according to the request of each SEA partner, EU
companies with subsidiary in Asia will be considered .
3.Training the trainers.
A team of 45 academic trainers will be formed in order to organise the Curriculum Development (WP2):
here we will use the “train the trainers” approach. A group of EU academic experts (2 of each EU HEI) will
be selected. During a 2 week workshop in Myanmar (Mandalay), the local trainers will be trained. The
trainer will receive detailed instruction on how to use the learning material, on how to conduct the pilot
training courses and on all the actions they will have to undertake for the full support of the trainees.
This first set of new Asian experts will then train the rest of trainers in their own “training of trainers”
and create an important multiplier effect.
4.The development of a SEA regional network.
A representative of each HEI participating to the consortium will be designated to organise a scientific
monitoring in the field of alternative packing materials and then built a network in this area in order to
identify the key problems. This network with the participation of 4 enterprises will be able to suggest
adapted strategies for the economic and scientific perspectives of the SEA countries.
This consortium is rather large for such CBHE program (18 partners) but it is undeniably a force because
it is fairly distributed in Europe (North, East and South) and especially in Southeast Asia with the

INUTPac
Page 17 of 155
Capacity Building in the field of higher education – EAC/A02/2019 – Joint Projects

participation of major Universities. The choice of Universities in SEA is really pertinent in each country: In
Thailand, MU in Bangkok play a major scientific role but the association with University in North
(Naresuan), North-east (Ubon Ratchatani), South (PSU) ensures that the issues specific to each region are
taken into account. In Vietnam a similar situation is observed with the participation of 2 large universities
in North and in South. The Lao and Myanmar HEIs universities take into account the diversity of
situations by involving a university from the capital city and 1 from a provincial region. This strong and
balanced consortium is the basis and the key point for the feasabilty of such ambitious project.

What concrete, tangible results are expected to be achieved at the end of the project's activities in each of
the targeted Partner Countries? (limit 6.000 characters)

The main goal of this project is dedicated to curriculum development.


Considering that one target group in project is students, one tangible result would be the
implementation of the accreditation processes in each SEA HEI. However, the situation could be
different according to the country. In Thailand the procedure of accreditation for a new degree is starting
with the graduate studies department and curriculum preparing self-assessment report, then accredited
by committee, appointed by University council and finally the Higher Education Commission at the
national level. Generally, the approval process would take at least 1 year up to 2 years. By this reason,
even if accreditation is the objective of this program, “up-date one existing” is the most possible. As a
typical example PSU University (P10) is on the process of curriculum improvement with new
interdisciplinary training; They can connect some teaching subjects of developing curriculum to the
sustainable packaging and environmental issue which is the aim of INUTPac. In case of Naresuan
University (P9) new content in the existing courses such as environment and polymer processing or new
short course that is non-degree are the most likely possible. Mahidol University (P8) is in the same case
and suggest also to implement as summer short time courses for adults, employees… Nowadays, the
Higher Education Committee in Thailand promote and support to develop new short course or non-
degree program for lecture and training courses.
In Vietnam, the school board first proposes the decision of opening a new degree and the institution
both tests and confirms the conditions of lectures, facilities, equipments… At the end the profile of major
training opening for master program, needs to be sent to Ministry of Education and Training and
approved by MOET. For both Vietnam HEIs (P13 and P14) “Up-date one” existing training program is
done regularly each 2 years and then will be possible within the project. In case of Nong Lam University it
is possible to update the existing course in the Master program of Faculty of of Food Science and
Technology. The Faculty has offered a Master program in Vietnamese since 2008 and is now applying for
the Master program in English. Since there is a course entitled advanced techniques in food packaging, it
is important to update the new knowledge or novel techniques in this course.
In Myanmar HEIs need to submit new Master degree program to Ministry of Education and National
Education Policy Committee, through each senate approval. It takes for at least 6 months by up and
down process. For submission, they need to describe all modules of curriculum and syllabi. The
accreditation will be then possible during the life time of the project for the two Myanmar partners. In
case of delay, the existing degree will be updated, because it is possible to modify or upgrade the
contents of syllabus. For Yangoon University (P15) deep knowledge in packaging technology is required.
Fundamental and advanced knowledge on packaging could be also very useful to current research work
of raw materials to finished products for their extended shelf life.
In Laos, HEIs propose a new curriculum at the faculty stage followed by the agreement of the university
council and then submitted to ministry of education. Additionally in Laos, for which the environmental
issues generally revolve around forestry, energy or soil pollution (connected to bombings from the
“Vietnam War”), the education linked to plastic use needs to be fully introduced in the university
trainings. Thus, two staff members from both universities (P17 and P18) participating to the project will
be trained in order to implement in the short future new/updated curricula in each HEI. Young lecturers
will be favoured to participate. In case of Savannakhet University in the faculty of Natural science now
there is no master degree yet, so the goal of this project will be to accreditate a new one.

INUTPac

Capacity Building in the field of higher education – EAC/A02/2019 – Joint Projects

Then in most of cases update curricula or accreditation are possible. In case of difficulty, after each
session of training the organizing committee will deliver one certificate with transfer credit for students,
in order to fully realize their skills.
The second target group is concerning trainers. Beyond the workshops and visits at EU partners, new
course supports will be elaborated in order to modernize and up-date existing curricula and also to use in
new accredited curricula. 20 courses will be updated or created. These courses will be in English. These
concrete realisations will be used by young trainers, even after the end of the program. They will be also
able to teach to others trainers in the goal of a multiplier effect. For each subject covered by a course, a
pair consisting of an EU partner and a SEA partner will be set up to produce the required support. Of
course, traditional course materials will be developed (slide shows for example) but also videos that can
be widely distributed and will remain easy to use once this program is completed. The videos will be
essential for large dissemination.
The last target group is concerning enterprises. Because a strong manufacturing plastic market
production exists in Thailand (about 20 companies are easily identified), the involvement of enterprises
in the project will emphasize the connection enterprise–university and will constitute a typical model for
all SEA participants. Because even yet at the beginning, 4 enterprises are associated partners (among
them PTTGC in Thailand, large company with a strong policy of cooperation with universities), they can
manage and concretely participate in new curriculum in order to match between professional demand
and academic knowledge with a view to improving the employability of students. In Vietnam, training
courses are generally tubular according to a classical organisation of faculties. Implementation of
multidisciplinary curricula will be an original result and introduction of professional’s contribution coming
from the private sector will be concretely done by the participation of ANPHAT Holdings. In Myanmar
and in Laos, the contact between university and enterprise is initiated with one of the few companies of
plastic transformation existing only in Yangon (Myanmar Recycles company). Promotion of this new
aspect will be done in the HEIs and towards the students.
The tangible result for this target group will notably be the implementation of a network involving HEIs
and companies. A status of international association will be formalized for network sustainability.

(Please add Partner Countries as appropriate)

For all types of activities (curriculum development, modernisation of governance, management and
functioning of HEIs; strengthening of relations between HEIs and the wider economic and social environment),
for each Partner Country institution please provide information in Part F.2 Organisation and Activities.

E.2 Quality control and monitoring


Please explain what mechanisms will be put in place for ensuring the quality of the project and how the
evaluation will be carried out. If an external evaluation is foreseen, provide information on the purpose and
expected outcomes of this evaluation. Please define the specific quality measures established, as well as the
benchmarks and indicators foreseen to verify the outcome of the action. Make sure that the information in
this section is consistent with the project Logical Framework Matrix. (limit 3.000 characters)

The master device will be the implementation of a Quality Assurance Board composed by representatives
of each university participating in the project, corresponding then to a minimum number of 18 persons.
The selected members among each university will not be direct participants in the project in order to
have an external look.
They will be responsible for drafting a quality plan, focusing on QA for the project management and
academic QA for the developed curricula, with clear milestones and indicators, addressing internal and
external QA. The quality plan will be presented at the second Steering Committee meeting (PSU).
Since we want to guarantee the quality of the outcomes of the INUTPac project beyond its timeframe,
Quality Assurance is foreseen at two levels: (1) at the project management level to make sure there is a
smooth follow-up of tasks and work packages and a good, complementary collaboration between the
partners and (2) at the academic level, to guarantee the quality of the developed curricula, trainings and
education programs (including the learning outcomes; teaching, learning and assessment methods etc.).

INUTPac
Page 19 of 155
Capacity Building in the field of higher education – EAC/A02/2019 – Joint Projects

Quality Assurance at the project implementation/management level will be mainly in the hands of the
Quality Assurance Board. Concrete measures will be taken in order to follow up on the management of
the agreement as such (follow-up meeting attendance, partners’ representation at project events, checks
on timely deliveries of contributions by the different partners, follow-up on to-do lists, etc.). The specific
meeting events such as trainings, workshops and the final conference will be evaluated by means of
feedback forms and interviews that will be carried out for the specific purpose of internal evaluation and
final reporting. The Quality Assurance Board will also oversee the dissemination activities.
Additionally, for quality assurance at the academic level (curriculum development/trainings, including
the learning outcomes; teaching, learning and assessment methods etc.), two academic experts will be
appointed for external peer review and evaluation. The details of their assignment and their
appointment will be decided by the Quality Assurance Board at the start of the project, but these will for
sure also include a specific focus on the train-the-trainer course and the implementation of relations
enterprise university. They will develop guidance that is accepted by all involved stakeholders, and advise
and review the developed programs to check whether they meet agreed expectations.

E.3 Budget and cost effectiveness


Please describe the strategy adopted to ensure that the proposed results and objectives will be achieved in
the most economical way, and on time. Explain the principles of budget allocation amongst partners. Indicate
the arrangements adopted for financial management. What sources of co-funding will be used? (limit 3.000
characters)

The consortium is fully aware about the need of cost-efficiency and will strive to combine events
wherever possible in order to save on mobility costs. The 3 dissemination events in Hat-Yaï (PSU),
Hochiminhcity (NLU) and the final conference in Bangkok (MU) will be combined with Steering
Committee meetings. The kick-off meeting in Le Mans (France) will be the occasion to hold the first SC
meeting.
A group of about 23 trainers will be trained at the start of the project, and they will deliver local trainings
to other academics in their HEI with a strong multiplier effect. This methodology is more cost-effective
than to plan travels of EU partners in the long term.
The budget was conceived in such a way that resources for staff costs are allocated to almost all tasks in
order to ensure a proper follow-up. The proposed budget was fully validated by all partners before
submission.
Preparation/Development:
-staff costs for SEA staff and EU staff for curriculum development (swot-analysis, review, development of
new curricula)
-staff costs for the EU trainers and the local trainers
-staff costs for EU for the study visits/training in EU + mobility costs for the network related to
enterprise-university cooperation.
Quality:
-staff costs for drafting the quality plan and quality reports
-subcontracting for external QA (necessary to preserve independence)
Dissemination:
-staff costs for organising the dissemination events and final conference
-staff costs for the project website, social media communication, publishing
-subcontracting (website design)
Management
-staff costs for management of the project (recruitment of dedicated staff for coordinator, recruitment of
½ time staff for joint coordinator and local management teams in partners HEIs)
-Subcontracting for external financial audit
The consortium agreement will clearly stipulate all the modalities for financial management. LMU will
transfer the financial share of each partner and the partners will send twice a year a financial report in
excel form with all supporting documents (invoices, timesheets, boarding passes etc…). From previous
projects, excel tools were developed and allow the automatic calculation for an optimal follow-up of

INUTPac
Page 20 of 155
Capacity Building in the field of higher education – EAC/A02/2019 – Joint Projects

budget. LMU will also use its expertise as participating partner in different previous TEMPUS programs
(INURE, DIUSAS, GO-UNIV) to apply financing rules and cost efficiency.
The Erasmus + guide mentions that the principle of co-funding has been taken into account in the
definition of the unit costs. The unit costs are indeed below the realistic staff costs. This implies that
there is approximately 25%€/unit cost of co-funding included in the staff costs calculated for the project.
The most budget-consuming staff costs are dedicated to the development WP. Each partner HEI also
cofunds overhead costs (up to 7 % of the total budget).
Additionally, there are some parallel projects which will provide co-funding for travels costs: to Hanoï for
example teaching assignments in USTH co-financed by LMU and USTH consortium, to Bangkok via the
Thai Research Fund (especially Royal Golden Jubilee program for PhD Theses) to take opportunity of
research grant to promote our new curricula.

If your project involves any "exceptional costs" related to travel, please justify them here. (limit 2.000

PART F – Quality of the Project Team and Cooperation Arrangements


F.1 Background of partnership and the proposal preparation
Please provide shortly the history of cooperation between partners (if any). How the idea of the project was
developed and which/ who among partners contributed to the proposal development. (limit 3.000 characters)

The cooperation between Le Mans University (LMU), leader of the project, Mahidol University (MU) and
Prince of Songkla University (PSU) in Thailand, was initiated during the 1980’s, mainly around the field of
Natural Rubber chemistry, both in research and in education. Then this collaboration, confirmed by 2
MOU signed, was progressively extended to other universities in Thailand: Naresuan University (NU),
Ubon Ratchathani University (UBU) and Songkhla Rajahbat University (SKRU) with evolution of themes
towards composite polymers, applied polymers, bio-sourced polymers and new polymers for food safety.
In total, more than 25 co-supervised PhD theses were defended between LMU and Thaï HEIs, 45
publications in peer review journals were published and 8 financed bilateral research programs (PHC
programs supported by French Embassy in Thailand). Furthermore, collaboration in the field of education
was conducted with the creation of a Master degree of science at Mahidol University, creation of
Bachelor of Science and a pilot plan for chemistry studies in PSU. LMU has also developed cooperation
with Vietnam, both with HUST in Hanoï and Nong Lam University in Ho Chi Minh City in the field of food
safety and anti-bioresistance in food, respectively. These collaborations were developed in the frame of
an international program 2014-2018 supported by the French Region Pays de la Loire entitled
“Functional materials for food safety (InnovASIA)” and including 14 laboratories from South-East Asia
(Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Malaysia). The collaboration with National University of Laos was
possible thanks to contacts established with the Francophone University Association (Agence
Universitaire de la Francophonie - AUF) which is associated partner of this project. HUST in Hanoï has
already developed international capacity building programs with the University of Yangon (NutriSEA
project 2015-18). The University of Mandalay (UM) and Yangon University (YU) in Myanmar are used to
work together. Gazi University and Hacetteppe University in Ankara, Turkey have already worked with
LMU (research programs in sensors 2015 and 2017) and were involved in this proposal because of their
demonstrated skills in various detection methods. The other EU HEIs are participating to this INUTPac
project because of their well-established complementary competencies in the field of plastic packaging
(especially education) and their will to work with the SEA region.
Consequently, LMU initiated the constitution of this consortium, constituted of complementary
competencies in the proposed field of plastic packaging with the goal of environment and is the leader of
the INUTPac project. The idea of this proposal originates from a research program funded by the French
National Research Agency (ANR), led by Dr Fabienne Lagarde from LMU, about microplastics and
nanoplastics in the marine environment, with aspects on characterization, impacts and health risk
assessment. This previous project highlighted the urgent need for a coordinated European action in this
area at the level of higher education in South East Asia with the creation of specialized curricula.

If relevant, please explain how and to which extent the project benefits from the experience and participation
of non–academic partners. (limit 3.000 characters)

INUTPac's goal is to implement new/updated curricula in the field of plastic packaging from production
to environmental impact management. All through the project lifecycle, industries involved in this field
will be solicited to take part into the curricula.
At the starting point, 4 major private industries have accepted to be associated partners.
PTT - Global Chemical Public Company Ltd in Thailand,important petrochemicals industry,is especially
interested in the project insofar as its policy is orientated towards the environmental-friendly and health-
friendly products. Its involvement is all the more relevant as PTT GC has already made decisive
breakthrough in the development of new innovations, both in the manufacturing process and in the
packaging product development, with regard to the reduction of impact on the environment and society.

INUTPac

Capacity Building in the field of higher education – EAC/A02/2019 – Joint Projects

The Siam Cement Group (SGC) is the largest and oldest cement and building material company in
Thailand and SEA. Since its founding, SCG has grown continually and diversified into three core
businesses, among them SCG Packaging. They are developing various new packaging, especially for food,
but with respect of the environment.
For both Thaïs companies they will participate to professional lectures and in the network.
In Vietnam AN Phat company is a leading group in high technology and environmentally friendly plastics
(more than 3000 employees). Its mission is to promote Vietnam’s plastic industry, enhance the image of
high-tech and environmentally friendly made-in-Vietnam plastic products. Because its positioning is to
become the pioneer group to establish high technology and environmentally friendly plastics value chain,
this company is very interested to participate in the development of INUTPac project, and to initiate
professional lectures like: new methods of production, compostable products, packaging bioplastics.
Since 2017, Myanmar Recycles has been providing a real solution to Myanmar’s plastic pollution problem
with support from Yangon's city council. Its goal is to achieve a zero-waste future by collecting and
recycling highly contaminated post-consumer plastic film. This company will perform lectures in curricula
and could organize internships and visits for students.
Of course other SE Asian companies are not yet fully identified at the time of the proposal’s submission,
but Mahidol University (P8) , HUST (P14) , University of Yangon (P15) and National University of Laos
(P18) will be in charge during the project period , in each of their country , to detect and associate new
private companies.
Additionally, because INUTPac includes 5 Thailand HEIs and because Thailand is a leading country in SEA,
French Embassy in Thailand and Thaï Embassy in Paris support this project as associated partners. The
role of these two diplomatic administrations will be essentially to assist, if necessary, Thai students and
teachers for their motilities in EU (and especially in France). All of them will strongly help in the
dissemination process. In Laos , the branch of AUF (Agence Universitaire de la Francophonie) will also
help to disseminate thanks to digital campus and will contribute to organisation of the meeting in
Vientiane concerning the constitution of the university-enterprise network.

Please explain the role and the participation of the Programme Country partners and their support in the
development of the different activities (e.g. in the development of the curricula) and (limit 3.000 characters)

The programme country partners HEIs are located in France, Germany, Poland, Spain and Turkey and
have complementary expertise.
LMU (P1) as leader of the project will ensure the financial, administrative management of the project.
Consequently LMU will be co-leader with the joint coordinator of the WP1 concerning the project
management. Additionally, the expertise of LMU key staff involved in the project, in polymers and more
particularly the recent research in the field of microplastics in environment, will allow the work on the
development of specific courses for the new/updated curricula to be implemented.
PULS’ key staff (Poland – P2) has a strong expertise in polymers that undergo biodegradable processes.
They develop competencies on applied polymers based on natural materials such as starch. They will
especially take part in the implementation of courses on food packaging and will be in charge of WP1
activities concerning the analysis of the situation.
HSF (Germany-P3) has a long experience in the processes on biodegradation of synthetic polymers in soil,
compost or aqueous environments. This knowledge about biodegradability appears essential in the
program especially in the context of regulating chemicals according to EU regulation (REACH rules) which
could be a model for SEA partners. This expertise will be then transferred through training and courses,
but also disseminated during conferences and workshops. HSF will also co-lead the WP2 about
curriculum development and WP6 concerning gender equality and diversity.
UdL (Spain-P4) in Lleida has a recognized expertise on the use of bio-based and biodegradable films and
on the management and analysis of agricultural plastic packaging (mainly from pesticides, fertilizers and
seeds). They develop innovation in analysis, design and control of agricultural packaging which could
have a very important role in SEA countries (Laos as a typical example). They will be then able to manage
specific courses in this field but also because of their numerous contacts with private companies and
company’s associations, they will contribute to professional skills and then will be in charge of WP4
about implementation of SEA network with enterprises.
INUTPac

Capacity Building in the field of higher education – EAC/A02/2019 – Joint Projects

US (Spain-P5) in Seville is a specialist of the plastic lifecycle assessment. Consequently, life cycling will be
included in the project as a cross-cutting skill to help design more sustainable plastic production
processes, waste management and recycling. The expertise in circular economy applied to bio-plastics
will be implemented in dedicated modules. US will also be in charge of the WP5 regarding the quality
plan.
GU (Turkey - P6) in Ankara has competencies in analytical chemistry, which is a key point for the fate of
plastics in environment. Relevant modules developed in GU will be transferred and adapted to the
new/updated curricula developed in INUTPac. GU also will have an important role in WP3 since it will be
co-leader of the training of trainers’ activities (WP3). HU (Turkey - P7), also in Ankara, will be more
involved in food packaging aspects, as its expertise revolves around all aspects concerning safety, quality,
and migration of hazardous compounds in alternative packaging. HU will also be in charge of WP7
dissemination and exploitation.

F.2 Cooperation arrangements, management and communication


Please define the organisation of the implementation of the project and the division of tasks between the
partners. Please explain the allocation of resources for each activity. Explain also how the tasks are distributed
amongst the partners and how project "ownership" is ensured (limit 3.000 characters).

Each Work Package (WP) is led by a EU partner and a SEA partner, who are responsible for coordinating
the WP and monitoring the deliverables and planned related milestones. This should ensure an active
participation of all partners and a better ownership of the project by the SEA partners. The consortium
will establish an efficient management structure in order to guarantee a smooth cooperation and
implementation of the project.
•Coordinators: Le Mans University will be the coordinator and will be responsible for the daily
administrative and financial management. The partners will be actively involved via the Steering
Committee, the Quality Assurance Board and the Local Management Teams. Several partners will take
the lead for the different WP. LMU will transfer the funds to all partners, for which a 6-monthly financial
reporting will be required. In the same objective to improve the implication of Asian partners, Mahidol
University will act as joint coordinator for the SEA partners. Mahidol is a well-known university in
Thailand with strong and efficient administrative structure. The very strong and historical cooperation
between LMU and MU (bilateral PHC projects, joined PhD Theses, ERASMUS + KA107…), will also
facilitate the program management.
•Steering Committee (SC): All partners will have 2 representatives in the SC. The SC will be the
coordinating and decision-making body of the project. SC will be responsible for the implementation of
the project and the budget, but also responsible for the communication strategy. The decisions will be
taken by consensus. If voting, each partner has 1 vote and the majority rule will apply. The SC will
communicate via email, telephone, Skype, Google Drive, Dropbox or Wetransfer for sharing documents.
The SC will meet 4 times throughout the project: kick-off meeting, 2 SC meetings (combined with
dissemination events) and the final meeting (combined with a final conference in Bangkok). All issues will
be discussed at the SC meetings: administration, finances, quality, activities etc. A consortium agreement
regulating all administrative and financial provisions and procedures will be signed at the start of the
project.
•Local Management Team (LMT): the LMT will be formed by of all the key staff members per partner HEI.
They will be responsible for the implementation, management and dissemination of the project within
their HEI. The contact person for the project will coordinate and facilitate communication between
coordinators and this LMT.
•Quality Assurance Board: It will be constituted of representatives from each HEI participating in the
program (18 members) + 2 external experts. They will be responsible for drafting a quality plan, which
will be approved by the SC. This plan will entail internal and external QA, both on the academic aspects
(curriculum development/trainings) as on the level of the project management. Quality reports will be
presented at the SC meetings.
The allocation of resources for management are:

INUTPac

- 2 dedicated staff member for the management of the project: 1 at the International Office of Le Mans
University and 1 for the joint coordinator Mahidol University
-80 days of staff costs for the other partners (WP leaders, reporting, administrative/financial
management).

Please explain the overall project and partnership management making specific reference to the management
plan and how decisions will be taken. Please describe how permanent and effective communication and
reporting will be ensured as well as the measures put in place for conflict resolution (limit 2.000 characters).

Daily management of the project will be conducted by the coordinator and joint coordinator via the
dedicated staff member in these 2 HEIs.
A consortium agreement will be signed before the beginning of the project in order to define precise
repartition of the different roles, responsibilities, rights and obligations for cooperation and
communication between all the partners, in particular concerning the implementation of the different
WPs, the management of the project, reports, financial provisions and potential conflicts resolutions.
There will be 4 Steering Committee (SC) meetings: one kick-off meeting in Le Mans and 2 meetings
throughout the project (Hat Yaï-Thailand, Hochiminhcity-Vietnam) in which 2 representatives per partner
will participate (except for coordinators LMU and MU: 3 persons). The SC will take the main decisions.
The final dissemination conference in Bangkok will be combined with the final SC meeting.
All issues related to the project will be discussed at the meetings: implementation of the WP and
timeline/planning, financial management, quality assurance, dissemination etc. Detailed minutes of the
meetings will be sent to all partners.
Regarding voting, LMU will have a veto right should decision contradict the financial regulations. All the
partners will deliver regular input for the annual reports towards EACEA and will send financial reports,
supporting documents, twice a year via an Excel sheet.
In each HEI, a local management team will be defined in order to implement the program at the
institutional level. The quality assurance board will be in direct connection with the SC.

organisation, etc.) relating to the area covered by the project (limit 2000 characters).
Poznań University of Life Sciences (PULS) takes the leading position in rankings of universities of life sciences and agri-
education in Poland. Its beginnings date back to the year 1870 and up until today we considerably contribute to the
development of the Wielkopolska region, Poland and the European Union.
At present, we have over 10 000 students, and 1500 employees including 820 academic teachers. Our eight Faculties
offer a wide scope of education within 22 fields of study and over 30 specializations, including Biology, Biotechnology,
Food Technology, Landscape Architecture, Agriculture, Horticulture, Forestry, Wood technology, Animal Science, etc.
We provide education within a 3-level system: I) studies for the degree of Engineer or undergraduate (bachelor)
studies, II) graduate studies ending with a Master's degree, and III) doctoral studies (PhD). All our faculties have an
extensive offer of postgraduate studies.
PULS is open to the needs of the Wielkopolska region, Poland and the European Union. Thus it maintains close
contacts with the economy. To facilitate this contact the Centre for Innovation and Technology Transfer (CITT) was
created. Leading PULS research areas include: biotechnology, dietetics and functional food, food quality and safety,
green energy, sustainable agriculture and horticulture, environment science, economics in food management and
rural areas, forestry, livestock production, and information technology.
The University’s international cooperation is a multidimensional and multi-faceted activity. Recently, it is involved in
projects covered by the HORIZON 2020 framework program. For many years, PULS has become increasingly
attractive to foreign students. In 2015, the PULS was awarded a grant by the Foundation for the Development of the

F.3.2 – Role of your organisation in the project


Please describe also the role of your organisation in the project (limit 1000 characters).
Due to the experience of PULS in teaching in the field of biodegradable polymers as well as food packaging, PULS is
ready to become involved in the development of new transversal and interdisciplinary curricula mainly in terms of
technological aspects.
Moreover, PULS, due to the expertise of its staff, could be involved in investigation of new possible materials for
recyclable packaging and then dissemination in curricula. Especially, PULS has recently started to investigate
bioplastics with the participation of master’s students and then can transfer it’s expertise.
The experience of PULS staff in the field of commercialization could also benefit to the INUTPac project.
In the dissemination process, the experience as well as the instrumentation of Polish Food Technologist Scientific
Society could be applied. For example, workshops or conferences could be organised in Poland. Moreover PULS, as
well as Polish Food Technologist Scientific Society, will use their websites to disseminate the project.

F.3.1 - Aims and activities of the organisation
Please provide a short presentation of your organisation (key activities, affiliations, size of the organisation, etc.)
relating to the area covered by the project (limit 2000 characters).
Naresuan University was developed from a College of Education in 1967 and was officially granted university statue on
1990. The University is a comprehensive university comprising 16 faculties, 3 schools, 1 college, and 1 institute. Now
its offers to about 22,000 students in 3 clusters of the Health Sciences Cluster, the Science and Technology Cluster, and
the Social Sciences Cluster with about 1,450 teachers, 2,000 researchers and staff.
The university develops a diversified research activiet with 22 Center of Excellence opened to societal issues such as
Center of Excellent for Sustainability of Health, Environment, and Industry, Center of Excellence on Energy Technology
and Environment, Center of Excellence in Biodiversity, Center of Excellence for Medical Biotechnology. Among this
Center of Excellence in Biomaterial is in this project. Currently, the Thai government is showing more interest in
biomaterials. Therefore, there now is a biomaterials section under The Office of National Research Council of Thailand
(NRCT), which was established to grant some of the research budget for strengthening research that focuses on
biomaterials. Additionally, the private sector is also paying more attention into the biomaterials area, which can be
observed through the PTT Global Chemical Public Company Limited (PTT-GC) starting to acquire factories to produce
raw materials for bioplastics. To prepare our university’s research for this up-coming agenda, the setting up of an
excellence center in biomaterials will give us a better opportunity to get exploit these funding opportunities, as well as
improve our skills in biomaterial-research area. In order to reach the ultimate goal, this center must compose of a
group of people from various disciplines to drive this research team. We are now initially setting up a group, which has
chemistry staff at its core. Chemistry is thus the largest presence with members that possess specialties in the areas of
synthesis and analysis. Experts in other disciplines such as Medical Science and Agriculture are also important in
verifying biomaterials for specific applications.

Please describe also the role of your organisation in the project (limit 1000 characters).
Center of Excellence in Biomaterial under Naresuan University will be actively involved in the project on Bio-based
material. Our center is currently involved in bio-material for agriculture with the well-known bioplastic company in
Thailand more than 8 years. With this long experienced, we are specialized in design formulation that ready to drop-
in in the production line as well as working from the lab-to-market via end-to-end innovation in order to drive product
to market either tech-push or demand-driving approach. Our institution is learning this methodology along with the
company. Now, we are focusing on bio-based material which is economically feasible for current market in Asia and it
is the first start to deploy the concept on biomaterial to Asia societal for people in the area having a mindset of BCG
(Bio-economy, Circular economy and Green Economy) before the market of biomaterial initiated in the next decade.
This experience will be very usefull for the implementation of new courses. NU will be co-coordinator of the WP1
(preparation). Concretely NU could contribute to the following activities:
1. Set up testing procedure on micro-plastic in fresh water as well as fresh aquatic animals in the lower
Northern area of Thailand
2. Set up model Community that concerning on environment by using biodegradable and biomaterial
products to create value of conservative tourism which is the niche market of the lower Northern area of
Thailand
3. Develop short courses in environmental management, industrial chemistry and biomaterial curriculum.

As already mentioned, Songkhla Rajabhat University is closed to Songkhla lake which is the largest natural lake in
Thailand. There have been reports on the presence of microplastics with the average accumulation of microplastic
contamination up to 233.3±46.7 and 414.4±161.4 pieces/kg sand dry weight in the sand of Laem Samila beach and
Laem-Son-On beach respectively which are located in Songkhla lake basin in October 2017. (i) the project on
microplastics in Songkhla lake basin is still carried on and qualitative and quantitative survey of microplastics in beach
sand has been done. This would be the primary results to be further analysis or training activities. Because of this
specificity, participation to this program is very important with involvment in courses cocnenring pollution of palstics in
marine area. Moreover, the role of Rubber and Polymer technology Program in this project would be 2 activities.
Currently, our research in connection with Prince of Songkla University (PSU)-Pattani Campus involves bio-plastics from
starches and could be transferred in courses. Additionally, due to our technology service project for industry we can
transfer this technology to enterprise of interest in the frame of the network..

Hanoi University of Science and Technology understands the environmentally responsible in both education and
research works. If our students are trained in that sense of responsibility from inside the university, that will be
spread to society and future businesses more easily. That responsibility must come from the sense of the young
generation and the socity, not merely an obligation to perform. Then the role of HUST will be:
- Modernising current curriculum: updating teaching methods, development of interdisciplinary curriculum
with other institutions at HUST such as TIMS, INEST SCE
- Participating in networking (North-South and South-South interaction)
- Education of students and general population with GreenPack concept
- Contribution of university in green packaging: training in new approaches, new biomaterials based on
agriculture waste

development of new/updated curricula in the frame of this project, as well as in the international networking between
SEA and Europe through the development and establishment of new approaches in plastic packaging field and new
skills. Addititonnally development of agricultural sector and agro-commodities are important in Myanmar economic
sector. The pollution problem by plastics has consequences in agriculture and then contribution of academic body is
vital in innovation for traditional agricultural items through cooperating and coordination with upgrading in teaching-
learning processes. The results will be disseminated to the communities holding seminar and training courses.
In conclusion UY will contribute to the following list of activities:
- Survey of plastic waste situation and management
- Workshop on plastic waste minimization, reuse, recycling and development on alternative packaging
- Curriculum development for sustainable circular model for design and plastic production
- Capacity building for private sector, industry, students and policymakers
- Development of innovation culture, educational materials and trained educators to sustain alternative solution

attended the program of Basic Food Safety and HACCP Training opened by Research and
Innovation Department, Ministry of Education. So, she had good working experience on
environmental pollution control and management of packaging materials utilized. She
also want to find out the properties of biodegradable plastics are better for the
environment than traditional plastic. With society's ever-increasing focus on protecting
the environment, she would like to emphasize on designing plastics that will disappear
much more quickly. She would like to study simply plastics made from recycled plastic
materials rather than raw petrochemicals.
She had also good working experience on packaging materials for fruits and vegetables
processing and preservation of her research work. She also participated seminar on
"Protecting Consumer Rights in Myanmar" conducted by Ministry of Commerce in order
to recognize the most effective food safety system and control hazardous plastic
materials which are significant for food safety. Aside from a slightly higher cost to
produce, biodegradable plastics hold many advantages over standard plastics, with a
lesser impact on the environment being one of its greatest advantages.
Previously, she occupied different positions in Different Universities.

acronym
F.3.1 - Aims and activities of the organisation
Please provide a short presentation of your organisation (key activities, affiliations, size of the organisation,
etc.) relating to the area covered by the project (limit 2000 characters).
Mandalay University is one of the two earliest universities to be founded in Myanmar, the earliest being Yangon
University. The predecessor to the present Arts and Science University was initiated as Mandalay College in 1925, to be
upgraded to Mandalay University College in 1947 and eventually named Mandalay University in 1958.
Mandalay University has undertaken as its mission to promote high quality teaching, training and developing new
generations, establishing a sound infrastructure and conducting state-of-the-art research. There are also increasing
collaborative engagements with all stake-holders and with our local and international partners with the aim of
contributing to advancement of knowledge.
Being a learning place with long traditions, this university has as its core values high quality education, academic-
oriented research and progress in applied research, internationalisation and contribution to the needs of local and
global community aligned with environmental responsibility.
With a well-established management and department system, administrative and academic functions on campus and
collaborations with partners elsewhere can be effectively carried out. The 12 social science departments and 9 natural
science departments have undertaken as their duty to develop and enrich the knowledge and experience of our valued
students, ensuring a bright future for them and for our nation.
A variety of programmes including undergraduate and postgraduate programmes are offered by the arts and science
departments in addition to MBA degree programmes catered by the Economics Department. To enable the conduct of
continuous and practical research relevant to the changing needs of the society, there are also masters of research
programmes for both the arts and sciences streams. Doctor of philosophy is the highest degree offered by this
university.
In the development of human resources, the role of library facilities cannot be overlooked. Students and staff are
provided with resources for learning and research along with academic support by the library.
In order to orient students’ learning experience towards a more practical nature, the University Research Centre fulfils
the learning requirements of Mandalay University students. This centre caters for experimental and practical needs of
our students from six different departments, namely chemistry, physics, botany, zoology, geology and geography. With
this exposure to and application of standard research practices and procedures, learning experience, experiments and
challenges to be faced in respective disciplines will undoubtedly become invaluable in the development of a human
resource capable of handling and overcoming challenges of the Knowledge Age, in this ever-advancing 21st century.
The Key activities of Mandalay University include :
1. Distribution knowledge
2. Research to contribute the progress of science and society
3. University’s performance
