Asia Satellite Campus Program Second Stage Workshop Ⅱ: The Way Forward toFurther Collaboration

1. The aim of the workshop
The Transnational Doctoral Programs for Leading Professionals in Asian Countries, offeredby the Asia Satellite Campuses Institute (ASCI) of Nagoya University (NU), provide
specialized research-based doctoral programs primarily designed for professionals holding
government positions in the six countries hosting its satellite campus facilities. This hybrid
doctoral program presents an opportunity for individuals with a master's degree to deepen
their knowledge and experience, pursuing a doctoral degree at NU without interrupting theircareers.
Under the framework of the Asia Satellite Campus Program, the Graduate School ofInternational Development (GSID) has admitted doctoral program students from Cambodia
1and the Philippines, leading to the conferment of Ph.D. degrees to these professionals. ASCIGSID students actively conduct research while fulfilling their responsibilities as coreprofessionals in their respective offices, with the expectation that they will play dual roles inadvancing their countries' development and fostering the research and education network ofNU in the Asian region.
GSID is organizing an ASCI-GSID second stage workshop at the University of the Philippines
Los Baños (UPLB) with the aim of understanding and appreciating the research progress ofASCI-GSID students and alumni. The workshop also seeks to strengthen collaborative efforts
in education and research among the Philippines, Cambodia, and Japan. Participants in thisworkshop include two ASCI-GSID Ph.D. students close to completing their research, twoGSID alumni who have completed the Ph.D. program, and researchers from UPLB, GSID,
and the Royal University of Phnom Penh (RUPP). The discussions will cover the following
topics:a. Their accomplishments in Ph.D. research and how their experiences at GSID are
influencing their current activities;
b. Providing incentives to ASCI-GSID Ph.D. candidates to complete their dissertations.
c. Exploring possibilities for further collaborations with GSID in research, education, anddevelopment practices.
