International Eurasian Academy of Sciences
ASEAN Centre (IEAS ASEAN Centre)
The International Eurasian Academy of Sciences ASEAN Centre (IEAS ASEAN Centre) was established under the formal authorization of the International Eurasian Academy of Sciences and serves as a key regional branch of the Academy in Southeast Asia. As an important scientific hub connecting the Eurasian continent with the ASEAN Community, the Centre has, since its establishment, been committed to advancing cross-regional scientific exchange and academic collaboration, while fostering strong institutional links between scientists across Eurasia and universities and research institutions throughout the ASEAN Member States.
Building on the region’s rich biodiversity, dynamic economic growth, and cultural diversity, the Centre facilitates high-level international academic conferences, collaborative research initiatives, and programmes for the exchange of distinguished scholars and experts. Through these activities, it has advanced cooperation in priority areas including medicine and public health, artificial intelligence, environmental protection, and sustainable development, contributing to the regional translation of frontier technologies and their practical and industrial applications. Its work has received broad recognition from scientific communities and relevant governmental stakeholders across ASEAN. Academicians from Eurasia and ASEAN have likewise recognized the Centre’s important role in fostering scientific exchange between East and West and contributing scientific expertise to the pursuit of sustainable regional development.

The Centre will provide strategic advisory services to governments, industry, and international organizations across ASEAN. Its work will focus on science-based advice and policy support in areas including regional science and technology policy, pathways towards a green economic transition, and the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals.
Academic Exchange
The Centre will systematically expand mechanisms for multidisciplinary and multi-level academic exchange. It will regularly convene high-level international academic symposia, advanced training programmes, and thematic workshops to stimulate innovative thinking, nurture the next generation of scientists, and promote international collaborative research.
Research on Global and Regional Grand Challenges
The Centre will focus on major scientific and societal challenges confronting ASEAN and the wider international community, including climate change and ecological conservation; energy transition and green technologies; digital technologies and smart societies; public health and resilient infrastructure; and agricultural modernization and food security.
To address these challenges, the Centre will facilitate systematic, cross-border research and collaboration, promote international scientific and technological co-innovation, and work with research institutions, universities, and enterprises across Eurasia, ASEAN, and the wider global community. Through the development of open and shared research platforms and innovation networks, the Centre will seek to accelerate the dissemination, translation, and practical application of scientific and technological advances throughout the ASEAN region.
Our Commitment
Through these efforts, the ASEAN Centre will continue to contribute to the development of a more closely connected, effectively coordinated, inclusive, and mutually beneficial international scientific community. By bringing together scientific expertise, institutional networks, and collaborative capacity across regions, the Centre is committed to providing knowledge-based insights and practical solutions to the major challenges facing humanity and to advancing Eurasia–ASEAN scientific cooperation to new levels of depth, breadth, and impact.
