Publication date: Mon, 17 Oct 2022
The Ã×À¼ÌåÓýResearch Committees on Asian and Pacific Studies (RC18) and Politics and Business (RC38) jointly organized a virtual conference on business and development in Asia and the Pacific on 17-18 October 2022. The event, entitled International Business, National Policy: Unpacking Business and Development in Asia and The Pacific, addressed various topics related to the role of corporations in the development of local communities.
Ã×À¼ÌåÓýPresident Dianne Pinderhughes addressed the delegates at the opening ceremony on 17 October and congratulated Dr. Angelin Chang, chair of RC18, and Dr. Nayara Albrecht, chair of RC38, for co-organizing this conference. Dr. Pinderhughes also highlighted IPSA’s support of this conference through the RC funding program and the Ã×À¼ÌåÓýDigital service.
The Ã×À¼ÌåÓýDigital service was launched in March 2021 in the wake of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting sanitary restrictions put in place worldwide which effectively caused the cancellation of in-person events. The aim of this service is to allow Ã×À¼ÌåÓýmembers and Research Committees to hold meetings and conferences in a virtual form, with the help and technical assistance of IPSA’s professional staff.
