East Asia Research
East Asia Research (EAR) is established in Singapore with the mission of enhancing productivity and reducing poverty in Asia. EAR strives to make continuous efforts in transforming the lives of people in Asia through education, application of research and innovative ideas. This will be achieved through the dissemination of knowledge from the Asia focused research Conferences and Publications by EAR. EAR academic conferences are world-class events which provide a meaningful platform for researchers, students, academicians, institutions, entrepreneurs, industries and practitioners to create, share and disseminate knowledge and innovation and to develop long-lasting network and collaboration.





The Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD) is the fourth autonomous university to be established in Singapore. SUTD’s mission is to advance knowledge and nurture technically grounded leaders and innovators to serve societal needs. SUTD is established in collaboration with MIT to advance knowledge and nurture technically grounded leaders and innovators to serve societal needs. This will be accomplished, with a focus on Design, through an integrated multi-disciplinary curriculum and multi-disciplinary research.


For the Public Good
We are a university of the land and people of our regions. True to the character of regional Australia we have gumption, we have soul and we collaborate with others. We develop holistic, far-sighted people who help their communities grow and flourish. The Wiradjuri phrase yindyamarra winhanganha means the wisdom of respectfully knowing how to live well in a world worth living in. This phrase represents who we are at Charles Sturt University – our ethos. It comes from traditional Indigenous Australian knowledge, but it also speaks to the mission of universities – to develop and spread wisdom to make the world a better place. Harnessing technology, we thrive as a distributed yet connected community, welcoming and engaging with people across Australia and the world.
