The ASEAN International Mobility for Students (AIMS) programme, formally known as M-I-T, aims to create a vibrant student mobility programme for citizens of all SEAMEO member countries. It has a long history, emerging from the Malaysia-Indonesia-Thailand (M-I-T) Student Mobility Pilot Project which was launched in 2010 as collaboration between the governments of the three countries and SEAMEO RIHED. Following the success of the pilot project, it is now being turned into a multilateral student Exchange Programme. Additional Southeast Asian nations are now invited to join the efforts of the three existing countries, and collectively develop a regional Southeast Asian student mobility programme.
The study fields of AIMS cover Hospitality and Tourism, Agriculture, Language and Culture, International Business, Food Science and Technology, Engineering and Economics. This year, the members of AIMS are Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam, Philippines, Brunei Darussalam and Japan.
