2017 is a monumental year for ASEAN and Korea. Since its foundation in 1967, ASEAN has reached a golden milestone, celebrating its 50^th anniversary. This year is also highlighted by the 10^th anniversary of the ASEAN-Korea FTA, and the ASEAN-ROK Cultural Exchange Year, with inauguration of the ASEAN Culture House in Busan which is the first of its kind outside ASEAN region.
 
Amid the development in the ASEAN-Korea relations, the international community is witnessing rapid changes. There are growing uncertainties in the international relations such as Brexit and America’s withdrawals from multilateral agreements. Technological advancement has reached another level and now, digital economy has become reality for many countries including ASEAN and Korea.

THEME (select one of the following three themes)

1. 50 Years of ASEAN and the Prospects for Multilateralism

Celebrating its 50th anniversary, ASEAN has been a successful model of regional integration and is at the heart of multilateralism. In the recent years, however, the international community has witnessed a trend against multilateralism through Brexit, America’s withdrawals from TPP and Paris Climate Accord. How can we assess ASEAN’s achievements and how will ASEAN navigate through the changing international dynamics?
 

2. ASEAN and Korea 4.0: Adapting Digital Economy

The world is seeing the realization of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. How are ASEAN and Korea adapting to the new changes in the global economy? As 2017 marks the 10th anniversary of ASEAN-ROK FTA, how can ASEAN and Korea strengthen their economic partnership in the changing economic environment?
 

3. ASEAN-Korea Educational Cooperation for Mutual Understanding

Building a true and lasting partnership begins from a deep mutual understanding between each other. Education serves as an effective tool to reach this goal by raising awareness and promoting deeper understanding. In what ways are ASEAN and Korea cooperating in the educational sector to promote mutual understanding? What are the difficulties, and how can they improve this cooperation to foster better understanding?

In the 20th century ago, the world is facing with human tragedies such as wars, calamities and natural disasters. Those tragedies happened because of human being are far away from their true nature of humanity, injustice and lack of governance in managing the world created by Allah the Almighty. Mankind have no longer play their roles as the God’s servants, on the contrary act as the creators and are doing everything according to their own free will. Eventually, this phenomenon has led to prejudice and enmity among themselves and has caused the world civilization today become more mundane and cannibalistic. At the beginning of the 21st century, such phenomenon still persists and seems to be never ending and having no proper solution.
The discussion of ideas concerning intellectual institution or leaders and scholars in the context of empowering Islamic civilization is vital in these days.This is consistent with the saying of the Holy Prophet peace be upon him that means: “there are two groups of human beings when both of them are good, indeed, all mankind will be good, but when both are bad, consequentlythe whole mankind will be desructive. They are namely ulama’ (scholars) and umara’ (leaders) “(HR. Abu Nu’aim). Therefore, the agenda of Islamic solidarity should be achieved in this contemporary society. It should become the starting point of complementary interrelationship and collaborative efforts of these two significant institutions; ulama’ and umara’.
In this regard, the Research Institute for Islamic Products and Malay Civilization (INSPIRE) in collaboration with Research Management, Innovation & Commercialization Centre (RMIC) are planning to carry out this international conference.

In order to strengthen collaboration between Indonesian and German researchers in the area of applied research and commercialization of research DAAD and Fraunhofer jointly award The DAAD – Fraunhofer Technopreneur Award 2017 to a young Indonesian researcher in the field of chemical science and engineering. Down streaming of research has become a focus of Indonesian research policy. Since the 1990s, global innovation processes have changed continuously. Newly developed products and knowledge are successfully creating new markets and revenues. Moreover globalization and transnational research have increased substantially. Researchers reach out to colleagues in other countries to join forces. The leading technology enterprises increasingly tend to follow this strategy. Eventually The DAAD – Fraunhofer Technopreneur Award will be mutually beneficial to both, Indonesia and Germany. The German host institution’s strengths will be complimented by the guest’s special expertise and research connections in Indonesia.

For German scientists and researchers it is important to increase knowledge by exchanging ideas with their Indonesian partners. For Indonesian researchers and their scientific institutions it is important to learn how to develop marketable products.
