We have realized the importance of student preparation for the ASEAN Community

in 2015, especially in terms of academic strength and collaboration. We would like to

organize scientific lectures and workshops in the following ASEAN-distinctive science topics

below to help facilitating the knowledge sharing, strengthening the scientific knowledge, and

establishing the ASEAN science youth network among ASEAN students:
