Social Asia Forum is an academic exchange platform which is dedicated to issues on trade unions, labor relations and labor laws and is jointly launched by trade unions and scholars of China, Japan, Korea and Taiwan. It was founded in 1995 and was hosted by the parties every year and had been held for 21 times now. The success of this forum has played a positive role in promoting the study of labor relations and trade union work under the influence of new information technologies, and also further expanded the influence of our university and deepened the academic exchanges in the labor relations and trade union fields in Northeast Asia.

The theme of this forum is “The Impact of New Information Technology on Labor and Employment - The Role of Trade Unions”.
