It was analised the only large-scale parameter whose data are public and can be compared vis-a-vis, by the years 2015 and 2016. It also aim to draw attention to distance education as a way that can be expanded to establish multilateral research networks, exchanges and partnerships that work on the complementarities and different challenges of The BRICS Network University, established in 2015.  \nKeywords: The BRICS Network University, distance education, Brazil  \n1. INTRODUCTION :  \nSince its first Summit in 2009, BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa) has significantly expanded its activities in the areas of policy coordination, economic-financial  \ncooperation and multisectoral cooperation.  \nEconomic relations between countries are best served by better understanding of cultures and more confidence is established, something that can only be achieved by expanding contact possibilities,  \ndisseminating knowledge and presenting tangible results that benefit the populations involved - not just the merchant or government elites.  \n2.SOME BRICS COMPLEMENTARITIES  \nThe areas of science, technology & innovation (CTI) and energy are considered priority by Brazil for the consolidation of multisectoral cooperation. Coordination in these areas can produce tangible results: to improve the quality of life of the BRICS population and for the innovation of the national industrial and technological park.  \nThe importance of cooperation in CTI is due to the need to reduce the scientific and technological gap between BRICS and developed countries and has relevant initiatives both in terms of the potential of knowledge exchange and the resources made available for research projects.  \nASIAN JOURNAL of DISTANCE EDUCATION  \nThe BRICS Network University, established in 2015, is an educational project aimed at developing, preferentially, bilateral/multilateral short-term joint training, master's and PhD programmes along with joint research projects in various knowledge fields according to common standarts and quality criteria, given recognition of the learning outcomes by participants as per national criteria. It intends to offer in conformity with own laws Masters and PhD programmes; shortterm training and modular courses; development and implementation of joint research projects, innovative activity within the frames of educational programmes; organization of the academic mobility if students, the university faculty and staff of the BRICS NU participants.  \nDistance education has been an important factor for inclusion and expansion of access to higher education in Brazil. And it can be expanded to establish multilateral research networks, exchanges and partnerships that work on the complementarities and different challenges ofthe BRICS countries.  \n3.
