'Re-Generate China, Japan, and ROK' was launched this year for the first time under the initiative of the members of the CAMPUS Asia Alumni Association of BESETO proposed to TCS. The objective of this proposal was to provide a platform for young Chinese, Japanese, and ROK professionals who wish to contribute to Northeast Asian regional cooperation and improvement of Chinese, Japanese, and Korean societies through substantial and tangible projects. The initiative was developed out of alumni’s gratitude for having formerly been the beneficiaries of the CAMPUS Asia program scholarship sponsored by Ministries of Education of the three countries. The theme this year was entrepreneurship capacity building for creating sustainable cities and communities.
