 Use similar tools as for CONNECT2SEA (cascading grant) – bottom- up – direct impact  Networking is key:

 ASEAN countries should be more present in Brussels at political level. Is S&T/ ICT a priority?  Use bilateral cooperation you have with some EU MS  Improve cooperation with ASEAN secretariat (COST, TELSOM….)

 What is next after CONNECT2SEA ? No more action from the EC  There are other sources of funding (eREADI)

How can we improve the situation?
