Research Institutes Network Annual Meeting 2022

The RIN Annual Meeting was held in a hybrid format, including face-to-face participation, for the first time in three years, on 24th November 2022 in Bangkok, after two years of online conduct owing to the COVID-19 pandemic.
After the RIN Secretariat presented the institutional contributions to the RIN projects (online workshops and website management and operation), both online and on-site participants engaged in lively discussions on the themes of The Comprehensive Asia Development Plan 3.0 (CADP 3.0), which were completed by ERIA (in 2022), RCEP, and G20/T20. ERIA will consider the meeting results for future research activities.
