2025 RIN Online Workshop Series

In 2025, the world is confronting unprecedented uncertainty. For ASEAN and other East Asian countries—deeply embedded in global value chains—this rapidly changing situation poses an urgent and complex challenge that demands strategic and coordinated responses in the economic domain.

To address these issues, the 2025 RIN Online Workshop Series titled “Navigating East Asia's Future Amid Global Trade Disruptions” served as a platform to promote knowledge exchange and foster interactive discussions among RIN member institutes and ERIA.

Throughout the workshop series, 19 speakers from 13 institutes and ERIA shared their findings and insights from their current research at the workshops, offering diverse perspectives on trade, global value chains, digital economy, green economy, sustainability, fisheries, price transmission, and other critical topics in East Asia.
