The public lecture is jointly organised by the Hong Kong Culture & Society Programme of HKU's Centre of Asian Studies and the Cultures & Civilisations Dialogue Programme of the Asia-Europe Foundation.
After half a century of innovation, East Asia and Western Europe now live in hope of greater peace and prosperity. The global comparative advantage of both Western Europe and East Asia rests not in military might, but in incremental peace through the rapid acquisition and wise use of knowledge by more people. In order to sustain these prospects at home and abroad, more people in both regions should share and promote their best experiences in info-communication and education technologies. This lecture will highlight key technological and education developments in both Europe and East Asia and identify ways to improve their governance for broader sustainable development.
Dr. Cesar de Prado Yepes' background encompasses academia, government, business and social activities in several countries around the world. He is currently based in Bruges near Brussels at the Comparative Regional Integration Studies Programme of the United Nations University (www.cris.unu.edu), recently created in association with the College of Europe and the local Flemish university system. His main research, funded by the Spanish Ministry of Education, compares the regionalisation of higher education in Europe and East Asia within a globalisation context. He is also advancing a broader research topic focusing on how ASEM and other interregional processes affect the foreign policies of participant member states.
In 1997 he published "Orientate en Oriente", a comprehensive guide on current Asia-Pacific issues. He has also published articles in English focusing on the connections between different actors in Europe and East Asia to advance the information society across the world.
