University Mobility in Asia and the Pacific (UMAP) is a consortium of Higher Education Institutions and partners collaborating to increase study abroad opportunities across the Asia-Pacific region through various short and long-term in-person and virtual exchange programs, as well as Collaborative Online International Learning (COIL) experiences.
With approximately 20 active members representing countries around Central Asia, South Asia, and the Pacific Rim, including East and Southeast Asia, Australia, and North, Central, and South America, UMAP strives to facilitate greater understanding of member countries’ cultures, economies, and societies through collaborative partnerships and increased exchange activities. Since its founding in 1991, UMAP’s membership across the region has steadily grown.

Potential activities with ITS through UMAP include student exchange programs, short-term academic programs, virtual international learning, and COIL-based collaboration with UMAP partner institutions. ITS could also offer Program C activities such as short courses, summer programs, cultural exchange, entrepreneurship programs, SDGs-related projects, and technology-based learning experiences. Through UMAP, ITS can strengthen academic credit transfer using UCTS, support staff mobility for international office development, and join research collaboration through UMAP Research Net. These activities can help ITS expand international partnerships, increase student mobility, and build stronger academic collaboration across the Asia-Pacific region.
