Coordinators were selected from each university for research promotion.
Workshop on Development of Integrated Curriculum and Joint Degree Program in AAACIJ Network Perspectives and Constraints was held at Nagoya University by inviting curriculum research staff from Leyte State University Hanoi Agricultural University Royal University of Agriculture (Cambodia), Seoul National University and AAACU in addition to above-mentioned core univer … More sities in January, 2006. Achievements and issues to overcome were reported by each university and discussed. The issues &send were recognition of credits, enrollment requirements for students, charges/fees to students, intellectual property and method of evaluating e-learning systems.

Meeting on development of online education and the Sakai training course were held at Nagoya University by inviting research staff of core universities in February 2008. It was agreed to promote standardization of curricula, dissemination of sleeting system with Sakai, mutual recognition of credits and credit transfer system.
