    Eudemy was initiated by Athifah and Yochi (Erasmus Master Alumni) who discovered how enthusiastic young people from ASEAN regions to continue their education (especially a lot asking about Erasmus Master). Departing from our personal experience sharing our education abroad and some tips to get a scholarship, we decided to make a platform to share more and reach more people.
