ACAH 2011, Osaka, Japan                                         'Ancient and Modern' & 'Journeys of Discovery'                  LibrAsia 2011, Osaka, Japan                                                 

The Inaugural Asian Conference on Literature & Librarianship, was held this year with the Second Asian Conference on Arts and Humanities, in Osaka, Japan. The event offered a diverse variety of papers that encouraged interdisciplinary reflection, and the forging of new relations across national borders. Although the the conference was smaller this year as a reflection of the March 2011 earthquake and aftermath, the conference was a success, and attracted over 100 people. We have every confidence that the event will grow in 2012.

We would like to thank all the delegates who made the event so enjoyable, including conference chair and featured speaker, Professor Stuart Picken, conference Keynote and Haiku Judge His Excellency Dr. Drago Stambuk, and Featured Speakers Kazuko Shiraishi and Dr. Bashabi Fraser.

ACAH 2010, Osaka, Japan                                           'East Meets West'
ACSS 2010,  Osaka, Japan                                           'East Meets West in Pursuit of a Sustainable World'
The Asian Conference on Arts & Humanities was held jointly with the Asian Conference on the Social Sciences on the weekend of June 18 and 21, 2010 and was a great success. More than 450 participants from 42 countries around the world congregated in Osaka for the inaugural conference on Humanities and Social Sciences.

IAFOR aims to make internationalization in the university world a reality by encouraging academics throughout the world to forge partnerships across boundaries of subject discipline, creed, and nationality. We were greatly encouraged to see the well-attended sessions challenge and inspire serious and challenging debate in a climate of mutual respect. We have every reason to hope that the conference will grow in the future, and are optimistic that the goals of IAFOR to facilitate and inspire closer links between peoples are being met.

We would like to thank the keynote speaker, the featured speakers, and each and every participant for making ACAH & ACSS 2010 a success. We would also like to thank our global academic affiliates for their role in the conference, as well as our sponsors and exhibitors, and last, but not least, the small team of volunteers who staffed the event.
