Purpose
The COVID-19 pandemic is one of the most devastating crises of our times, and there is an urgent need for us to leverage science, technology and innovation (STI) to make our societies more resilient. Because COVID-19 pandemic is too big and complicated to be handled by one single country or academic discipline alone, we also need international and interdisciplinary cooperation.
Our online workshop, held in association with the 13th Summit of the Asia-Europe Meeting (ASEM13) in Cambodia, aims to stimulate multiregional cooperation connecting Asia, Europe and the rest of the world. We will promote ASEM’s core themes of “multilateralism, growth, sustainable development and prosperity” despite how they have been threatened by the pandemic, and encourage a diverse variety of participants to share research findings and learn from each other’s unique experiences in fighting against COVID-19 to ensure those themes.
Young audience such as PhD students and early-career researchers are welcome.
