ESP Asia Regional Office
On 23 February the ESP Asia Regional Office had its first meeting with Korean agencies to develop a collaboration agenda for applying ES approaches into national policies and practices in the field. This meeting will be held regularly throughout the year 2017 before the ESP World Conference. If you are interested in joining, please contact us at info@esp-asia.org.
During the ESP World Conference in China, the Asian regional Forum will be held in collaboration with Asian National Networks. We will contact the representatives of Asian ESP NN for gathering suggestions and collecting exemplary cases of ES policy application.
