Creation of a regional network including the Universities which have set-up cooperative education programs or would like to set-up such training programs. The project led with the European partners can act as a pilot experience for other universities in the region of Chiang Mai. The local and national Authorities closely examine the implementation of the MMIT program and the relationships developed by the CAMT with the European experts on this type of training. Their presence in a seminar organised in 2008 has allowed to appreciate to what extent they are interested in cooperative education training as a way to improve technical university training system. The Rajamangala, recently promoted to a university level, are also very interested in the experience developed by the CAMT and eager to benefit from technical help.
