Theme:
Protecting life from geological and environmental hazards
Background
To publicize research work done under the AUN/SEED-Net Project and to maximize the outreach of the AUN/SEED-Net network for stronger impacts, Field-wise Seminar (FWS) organized in the first phase of the AUN/SEED-Net Project has been expanded/merged to be Regional Conference (RC), which involves more participants from broader communities including industry, community, non-Member Institutions, and other professional organizations.
The Regional Conference is not only a place where faculty members in Member Institutions (MIs) and Japanese Supporting Universities (JSUs) review the progress of research carried out by graduate students of AUN/SEED-Net and Member Institutions under the Collaborative Research Program and discuss related activities for further research collaboration, but also a venue to collect and disseminate the most updated technology and the research of regional issue and public interest in order to contribute to the community and to draw support from the industrial and the governmental sectors.
The Regional Conferences/Workshops are supported mainly by the ASEAN Foundation, and partially by JICA, the Mis and external fundings searched by the host institutions.
