The participative management lies on EU-Asian Collaborative Committees focusing on quality, credit transfer, dissemination, employability, community management and sustainability.Fellows will be working among open-minded, highly qualified, internationally experienced and socially influential partners with close corporate links and a strong economic, cultural and social impact. INTERWEAVE fights against discriminations by granting scholarships to persons in vulnerable situations.The INTERWEAVE project develops adaptation skills by enhancing the capacity of Indian students, staff and HEIs, to address local and global challenges and raise their profiles and employability as active members in their communities. Every institution and fellow gains a strong experience and spirit of innovation, and circulates new skills and good practices. INTERWEAVE stands as a totally appropriate response to the current and future challenges of Europe and Asia and of the global society of knowledge.
