Founded in 2009 by a small group of concerned Asian, European and North American academics and business professionals, The International Academic Forum (IAFOR) has developed into a mission-driven, politically independent organisation dedicated to providing and promoting meaningful dialogue irrespective of international borders.
Since its founding, IAFOR has been committed to ensuring that Asian leaders and opinion formers in both the public and private sectors, in education, the media, and business, have had the chance to meet their colleagues in other countries, and discuss issues of national and international relevance and importance.
Through its international, intercultural and interdisciplinary conferences, research and publications, IAFOR has become the network hub for information exchange across Asia and beyond; connecting individuals and institutions across the globe, and the thought leaders of today with those of tomorrow.
