Back to back with the ASEM Higher Education Conference, the ASEM Task Force Meeting was held on 6 October 2017 in Hamburg, Germany. The meeting followed up Germany’s proposal on establishing the ASEM Task Force during the Intermediate Senior Officials’ Meeting in Moscow 2016 which aims to fostering transparency, strengthening the visibility of the process, improving effectiveness without creating additional structure or bodies. Therefore the task force ends to increase the internal and external communication including additional exchange e.g. opportunities for cooperation between both regions, exchange of good experiences and education policy developments.
