Come help us celebrate our Triple Jubilee at ASP Wednesday 10th May, 2017: Japan-Denmark relations 150 years, CBS CENTENARY and the Asian Studies Programme/JAPØK 25 years!

We are celebrating this triple milestone with a one day seminar presenting a full line-up of interesting and high profiled speakers from diplomacy (ambassadors to Denmark and Japan), academic celebrities and business representatives. Activities throughout the day will range from talks to panel discussions on Japan and Japanese trends in business and society as well as networking possibilities.

The seminar is followed by the annual ASP Alumni get-together and afterparty – gathering ASP alumni from the last quarter of a decade.

Prior registration to the event is required. Details on how to register will be made available in due course.
