About ASDF
The Asian Science Deans Forum (ASDF) is a venue for international research collaboration and academic networking in science and technology with Asian universities. This is an annual meeting that welcomes Deans, Deputy Deans, Associate Deans, Directors, Administrators and faculty members of science and technology universities, schools, colleges, and academic departments to discuss, share their knowledge and create collaborations among peers within their area of interest. In the 2024 forum, students and researchers in science and technology programs will present their initial research works that would foster partnership among Asian universities, create research projects that would lead to lifelong learning, and contribute in giving solution to societal problems leading to environmental sustainability and socio-economic development. This forum opens networking opportunities, fosters mobility of researchers, professors, and students, and create new cooperation in Asia while learning the culture of the Philippines.
