The 10th ERIA Editors’ Roundtable: ‘Overcoming COVID-19: From Adversity to Opportunity’
Well into the second year of the pandemic and it is difficult to say when this will end. While all ASEAN members struggle to address the myriad challenges that COVID-19 has brought, they have all recognized the need for more regional cooperation to promote a more resilient, prosperous, and sustainable future. Many pre-existing trends have been accelerated like the adoption of the digital economy and the green economy. Policymakers also see the opportunity to promote new strategies of cooperation and planning. Given the current circumstances, the 10th ERIA Editors’ Roundtable will be held online for the second time. This event is expected to draw a large audience from the region and beyond. Online participants will learn first-hand from ASEAN scholars and experts about how they are trying to bring back robust economies. Through this interaction, editors and media influencers will be able to strengthen their capacities to cover the pandemic and the region’s recovery plan. ERIA is delighted to be supported by our Media Co-host: The Scoop, Brunei Darussalam.
