The FRIENDS project supports internationalization capabilities and campus diversity of the Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) in Partner Countries (PC) in Asia. The project's chief goal is to develop students' global competence through the integration of intercultural dimensions into universities' formal and informal curriculum in the partner countries. The project is built around the concept of internationalization at home (IaH) that shifts focus of attention from outbound to virtual mobility and on-campus intercultural engagement for the benefits of non-mobile students' employability and global outlook.

The consortium combines the expertise of 4 Eastern European Universities in Program Countries, ie Bulgaria, Hungary, Poland and Turkey, as well 12 partner universities from Asia, namely 2 in Bhutan, 2 in Cambodia, 2 in Malaysia, 3 in Philippines and 3 in Thailand.
