Opportunities for Talent Collaboration in ASEAN in the Digital Age
Jan 13, 2025 at 9:51 PM
Talent mobility, or the free movement of skilled labour across national borders, is a central tenet of ASEAN’s drive toward regional economic integration. The ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) Vision 2025 includes facilitating the movement of investments, skilled labour, business professionals, and capital. To this end, the ASEAN Economic Community Blueprint 2025 outlines initiatives such as implementing mutual recognition agreements (MRAs) for skilled professionals, strengthening commitments under the ASEAN Agreement on the Movement of Natural Persons, and reducing regulatory barriers by standardising hiring requirements and documentation.Furthermore, the ongoing negotiations on the ASEAN Digital Economy Framework Agreement (DEFA) include digital talent mobility as one of its nine key pillars.These commitments recognise the importance of developing, attracting, and retaining talent in accelerating ASEAN’s economic growth. As technology-driven digital transformation is reshaping the region, human expertise is more essential than ever. Skill gaps will limit the region’s ability to maximise digital opportunities. For instance, a shortage of skilled ICT professionals, including cybersecurity experts, hampers our ability to address increasingly complex cybersecurity threats.ASEAN Member States have negotiated past agreements to facilitate cross-border professional practice. Mutual recognition agreements were signed between 2005 and 2012 for sectors including engineering, nursing, architecture, medicine, dentistry, and tourism. In 2012, the Member States signed an agreement on the movement of natural persons, establishing a framework for the temporary cross-border movement of workers. ASEAN Member States also signed the ASEAN Comprehensive Investment Agreement (ACIA), which includes provisions to streamline business visa procedures for citizens within the ASEAN. These are important first steps to foster talent mobility.Read more at https://theaseanmagazine.asean.org/article/opportunities-for-talent-collaboration-in-asean-in-the-digital-ageThe ASEAN Secretariat70A Jalan Sisingamangaraja Jakarta 12110P: (+6221)7262991, 7243372F: (+6221)7398234, 7243504M: ASEAN-magazine@asean.org

Call for PapersVenue: SingaporeImportant DatesSubmission Deadline: January 20, 2025Notification Deadline: February 10, 2025Registration Deadline: February 20, 2025Link: https://www.icgea.org/index.htmlSubmitted papers will be reviewed by Technical Program Committee and sub-reviewers. All accepted (Registered & Presented) papers of ICGEA 2025 will be submitted for inclusion into IEEE Xplore, indexed by EI Compendex & Scopus, etc. Energy is inarguably one of the most pressing global issues faced by humanity in this century, and a reliable and sustainable energy system is crucial to achieve a more sustainable future. The world's energy consumption is expected to nearly double by 2050, with most of the growth happened in countries outside of the OECD. Sustainable development requires consistent access to clean, affordable energy to support economic activity, improve national development, and improve human wellbeing. In addition, there is a strong link between the energy sector and global climate change due to the impact of CO2 arising from burning the fossil fuels. Study shows that carbon emissions hit the peak in 2018, mainly from the carbon-rich fossil fuels that generated nearly 85% of the world’s energy. Taking the above-mentioned as a backdrop, energy is certainly a complex technology involving multidisciplinary research, development, demonstration and deployment in energy systems, grid systems and applications, especially in the energy transition era.In anticipation, the combination of rising populations and living standards of human society in the next 50 years will demand for the development of massively scaled sustainable energy and low-carbon electricity generation solutions with an objective of battling the climate change. These challenges, albeit an unparalleled threat to the business-as-usual, also represent a remarkable opportunity for research, innovation, and green growth.With the success of the previous 8 year, ICGEA came to its 9th edition in 2025. It is proud to announce that 2025 The 9th International Conference on Green Energy and Applications will be held during March 7-9, 2025 in Singapore, which is sponsored by Singapore Institute of Electronics. The theme of ICGEA 2025 is to bridge and connect presenters and audience with different disciplines and background as well as from different geographical locations. The most interesting and disruptive technology often happened at edges and boundaries of different disciplines, and so the aim of the conference is to bring these brains together to synthesize the ideas and knowledge from different sources to achieve the energy innovation.ICGEA 2025 scope covers, but not limited to, the following topics:• Advance biofuel for a sustainable heavy-duty transport and aviation• Bioenergy supply management strategies• Biofuels in developing economies• Biomass• Carbon and Methane capture, storage and utilization• Electric Power Generation, Transmission and Distribution• Energy and Health• Energy and Water• Energy efficiency in building designs and management• Energy in food production and processing• Energy storage and cyber security for smart grids• FACTS and HVDC controllers• Geothermal energy• Green Buildings and Infrastructures• Green energy and energy access• Green energy and social benefits• Green Energy Education and Training• Green Energy in Transport• Green Industrial Technology• Green Policies and Programmes• Green Power• Greening the Fossil Fuels• Greening Urbanization and Urban Settlements• Hybrid vehicles and its integration• Hydropower• Income generation with green energy• Increasing energy access with clean resources• Integration of renewable energy sources in buildings• Low carbon city scenarios, plans and actions• Mainstreaming low-carbon innovations• MDGs and Green Energy• Microgrid and active distribution network management• National bioenergy programmes: economic, political and social issues• Natural gas research and development• Power system economics, operation and control• Protection, reliability, and restructuring of power systems• Rapid urbanization and energy-environmental implications• Regulatory policies and program for implementation and control• Renewable Energy for Power and Heat• Role and future of electric vehicles in smart grids• Rural Development through Green Energy• Settlement forms and functions and energy• Smart Grid and Renewable Energy Integration• Solar thermal and photovoltaics• Sustainable coal use and clean coal technologies• Sustainable materials for buildings• Transformation of power grids to smart grids• Wind energy
