Kobe SALAD is dedicated to the young generation in Asia who promote the rule oflaw and develop the mutually-beneficial networks of people for peace andprosperity.
This program started in 2013 in Seoul in cooperation with Hanyang University. Since
then, SALAD (School of Asian Law and Dispute Management) was held every
summer in Kobe accepting students from various jurisdictions all over Asia andbeyond, in the spirit of promoting mutual trust based on the understanding andappreciation of various values deriving from the sustainable diversity of social
cultures in Asia.
In 2020, because of the Covid-19 pandemic, we could not hold it on the campus ofKobe University. Therefore, the online seminars under the name of Kobe SALAD
Online 2021 Spring were delivered via Zoom in the early spring and many students
within and beyond Asia participated and enjoyed the lectures and workshops givenby the excellent scholars and practitioners who also took part in from various placeson the globe..
Even now, we cannot get rid of the Covid-19 pandemic. So, we decided organize
another Kobe SALAD Online 2021 in summer. In the making of this program, we arestrongly supported and encouraged by the academics and the practitioners whoshare the spirit of promoting inclusive societies supported by the mutual
understanding with generous exchanges of information, expertise and knowledge
which will promote the sustainable development of productive relationships andmutual value creation among people. Therefore, we, once again, cordially invite theparticipation of the persons who hope to promote the peaceful and prosperous
development of societies within and beyond Asia.
Hoping to see all of you via Zoom this year, and meet you on the campus of
Rokkodai Campus in Kobe University in the summer of next year.
