The 2026 ASEAN–Korea Academic Conference is designed as a flagship scholarly forum under the AKPGM (ASEAN–Korea Platform for Great Minds) initiative, supported by the ASEAN–Korea Cooperation Fund (AKCF), and is jointly co-hosted with the Jeonbuk Institute of Southeast Asian Studies (JISEAS). The conference aims to bring together scholars from ASEAN Member States and the Republic of Korea to reflect on the state of Southeast Asian Studies, promote cross-regional knowledge production, and foster sustainable academic partnerships. By providing space for both senior scholars and emerging researchers, the conference seeks to strengthen regional expertise and cultivate future Southeast Asianists who can contribute to ASEAN community-building and ASEAN–Korea cooperation.

The conference will commence at 11:00 a.m. (Korea Standard Time) and will be held both on-site and via live online streaming. Participants who are unable to attend in person are welcome to join the sessions remotely and engage in real time from anywhere.
