Introduction

The Consortium for Innovative Research & Education of Asia (iRE-Asia) is an international consortium founded in 2011 and officially registered as a non-profit general corporation in Yamaguchi, Japan, in July 2017.

iRE-Asia’s core mission is to foster global innovation leaders. We aim to cultivate individuals who can adapt flexibly to future developments and societal shifts. This is achieved through interdisciplinary collaboration across diverse fields and strong partnerships between universities and companies, primarily in China, Japan, and Korea. We also actively encourage international students to develop innovative systems and establish new venture companies through comprehensive global cooperation.

Our Key Activities 

  1. Summer Program for Innovative Engineering Design (SP!ED) :
    Held annually in August, this program rotates host countries among Japan, China, and Korea. The inaugural SP!ED took place in 2013, hosted by Yamaguchi University in Ube, Yamaguchi, Japan.
  1. Creative Engineering Design Competition (CEDC) :
    This competition is typically held every December. Yamaguchi University hosted the first CEDC in 2011 in Kokura, Kyushu, Japan.
  1. International Conference on Innovative Application Research and Education (ICIARE) :
    Held alongside the CEDC each December, the first ICIARE was hosted by Dalian University of Technology in Dalian, Liaoning, China, in 2013.
  1. International Journal of Engineering Innovation and Management (IJEIM) :
    Our academic journal, IJEIM, serves as a vital platform. It enables students, academics, researchers, and industry experts to share knowledge, research findings, ideas, and technical expertise, thereby driving innovation in research, education, industry, and social spheres.
