From London to Tokyo: The Forum’s Intellectual Journey Continues

After successful Forum discussions in Kyoto, London, and Paris, IAFOR is bringing this intellectual caravan to Tokyo, continuing its intellectual journey around the world.

The Forum is a series designed as a platform for international, intercultural, interdisciplinary—and inclusive— discussions, joining experts and practitioners alike in an interactive and open dialogue format.

IAFOR invites all conference delegates to participate in The Forum to discuss on-the-cusp topics derived from our conference programmes.
