One of the objectives of the association is to organize a biennial conference in the region as the major platform for a trans-disciplinary international exchange and networking among scholars working on Japan in Southeast Asia, as well as other parts of the world.
 
The association conference will enable scholars from the region and beyond to come together regularly to present their research, exchange new ideas and explore the many opportunities for collaborative research that exist.
