About the seminar
More than a decade of cross-Pacific exchange.
What began as a focused dialogue among researchers in Asia has grown into a recurring, multi-regional forum. Each edition is hosted by a partner institution and pairs formal research reporting with field visits and informal exchange — the conditions under which lasting collaborations form.
The 14th edition returns to Korea, hosted by the Korea National University of Transportation, with the support of leading national transport bodies.
We sincerely hope that you will be able to join us in Seoul this September. Your expertise and insights would be a highly valuable addition to our discussions and exchanges.
