Conference Theme: Innovation and Development in the Asian Century-Global Shifts in Technological Power

The rise of the Asian economies signals numerous and significant changes for Asia and elsewhere. Urgent issues pertinent to ICTPI include science diplomacy (including the US “pivot” toward Asia), technology transfer, security, cyber-policy (control of domain names, net neutrality, censorship, etc.), environment (pollution and climate change), international research collaboration, manufacturing relocation, and trade patterns within Asia and with the rest of the world. Responses will be sensitive to the future of the Chinese economy, currency, and influence, and to the interaction of demographics (age structure and migrations), the knowledge workforce, and the rise of intelligent robots. National differences in corporate governance, intellectual property protection, consumer protection, and attitudes toward modernity offer challenges for research and policy. ICTPI’17 welcomes papers addressing any of these important areas, or closely allied areas.
