Welcome to the inaugural Asian Conference on Education, to be held on October

The aim of ACE is to encourage academics and scholars to meet and exchange ideas
and views in a forum encouraging respectful dialogue.
The conference will bring together a number of university scholars working
throughout Japan, Asia, and beyond to share ideas. ACE will afford the
opportunity for renewing old acquaintances, making new contacts, and networking
across higher education.
It is hoped that academics working in Japan and Asia will be encouraged to forge
working relationships with each other, as well as with colleagues from Europe
and the US, facilitating partnerships across borders.

can receive donations through the EMU Foundation, which is a registered 501(c) Non
Profit organization. Our Federal Tax number is 38-6005986. These donations can be
offset against your federal and sometimes your state tax return (U.S. tax payers

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that they will match any

in and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple administrative procedure
that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without costing you an extra penny.
Please take a moment to check if your company operates such a program.
