Ritsumeikan Asia Pacific University (APU) hosted the 18th Asia Pacific Conference online on November 14th and 15th, 2020, under the theme of “Asia Pacific and Beyond: A Pursuit for Inclusion and Innovation.”
Researchers from Asia-Japan Research Institute participated in two panel sessions: in the panel session entitled, "Prospects for Asian Paths of Sustainable Development", Dr. Fitrio, Dr. Ammar, Dr. Kirihara, and Prof. Kosugi gave presentations on on-going efforts and prospects for sustainable development in Asian countries.
In the panel session entitled, "Transformation of Value Systems and Social Integration in Asia", Dr. Matsui, Dr. Ikehata, Dr. Lee, and Dr. Kuroda gave presentations on social integration, philosophy and cultural issues in Asian countries.
As an institute belonging to Ritsumeikan University, the Asia-Japan Research Institute is seeking strategies to enhance the academic communication with APU. We are planning to organize new panel sessions at the 19th Conference in 2021 as well.
