The Asian Conference on Education is an interdisciplinary international conference that invites academics and independent scholars and researchers from around the world to meet and exchange the latest ideas and views in a forum encouraging respectful dialogue, and offering the opportunity for renewing old acquaintances, making new contacts, and networking across higher education.
Since its inception in 2009, ACE has welcomed over 1500 academics and practitioners to its annual Osaka event, and this year we expect to welcome a further 500 attendees as ACE continues to grow.
We are also excited to develop the conference with the addition of the Asian Conference on Society, Education and Technology (ACSET 2013), which will be run in parallel to ACE and create further exciting research possibilities and synergies.
Academics of all ages, ranks, nationalities, cultures and disciplines will be encouraged to forge working relationships with each other, as well as with colleagues from Europe and the US, facilitating partnerships on both the individual and institutional levels.
We hope to see you (again) in Osaka in 2013 as we celebrate our fifth anniversary!
