ASEAN-Japan Academic Forum (AJAF) 2011

“Sustainability & Its Challenges In ASEAN Development”

11 December 2011 (13:00 - 17:00)

Tokyo Metropolitan Industrial Trade Center,

Hamamatsucho Building, 3F (Meeting Room 3 & 4)

The ASEAN-Japan Academic Forum aims at providing a platform to promote young ASEAN researchers in Japan, as well as Japanese researchers doing research related to the 10 ASEAN countries. The Forum also hopes to create further opportunities for greater cooperation between ASEAN and Japanese researchers, through the sharing of knowledge and expertise. Organised by the ASEAN Youth Network in Japan (AYNJ), this pioneer project aspires to advance research in ASEAN, and the furtherance of ASEAN young researchers themselves.

For decades, the members of ASEAN have faced various challenges on development and sustainability, especially with regard to economy, education, environment, good governance, health and security, and technology. They had struggled to fight corruption, inequality, and poverty and had sought and tested measures that will alleviate the crises and lead the South East Asian countries to development. However, recent events have proved that matters on development and sustainability do not only concern the developing countries but also the developed ones like Japan. Natural disasters, aging population, and a stagnant economy are just some of the factors that could crash a strong nation down.

In this year’s ASEAN-Japan Academic Forum, issues on development and its sustainability will be tackled in different fields and perspectives. We are opening our table to those who are interested in sharing their knowledge on topics that include, but are not limited to: Business Management, Cultures, Economy, Education, Engineering, Environment, Humanities & Social Sciences, Languages, Medicine & Healthcare, Science & Technology, Tourism.
