SEACE2025
February 21-25, 2025 | Kuala Lumpur Convention Center, Malaysia & Online
Welcome to The 5th Southeast Asian Conference on Education (SEACE2025), held in partnership with the IAFOR Research Centre at the Osaka School of International Public Policy (OSIPP) at Osaka University, Japan.
IAFOR was made possible, and is a response to the forces of globalisation, and the understanding that many of the most pressing challenges, whether felt or experienced locally, would require global cooperation and action to address.
As an organisation that engages across all sectors of society, and with multiple stakeholders to engage in some of the biggest challenges and issues the world faces from an interdisciplinary perspective, we have aligned our research initiatives and conferences with the implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. At the heart of this agenda are the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Education and sustainability are key focus areas of Malaysia, which is a young, multiethnic and multicultural society, and Kuala Lumpur is an excellent venue to study the challenges and opportunities of working towards the needs and goals of a country that is diverse and growing, but still developing. The SEACE conference will offer an excellent venue for international delegates from around the world to exchange ideas and best practices on such issues as social inclusion, education, and good governance, in comparative and contrastive fashion. In this way attendees will learn about and from the conference, as they build new synergies in the pursuit of a sustainable world.
SEACE2025 encourages academics and scholars to meet and exchange ideas and views in a forum stimulating respectful dialogue. Like our long-running events elsewhere in the world, our fifth in Southeast Asia will afford an exceptional opportunity for renewing old acquaintances, making new contacts, networking, and facilitating partnerships across national and disciplinary borders.
We look forward to welcoming scholars from across Southeast Asia and around the world for what is sure to be a great conference.
