The International Association of Jesuit Engineering and Sciences Schools (IAJES) Asia-Pacific Regional Conference is a biennial gathering—now entering its 2nd edition—where Jesuit educators, researchers, and students come together to foster collaboration, innovation, and formation rooted in Jesuit values.

In a region marked by rapid development, social inequalities, ecological vulnerabilities, and deep cultural diversity, the Asia-Pacific stands at the forefront of urgent global challenges—and bold new possibilities. This year’s summit theme, “Integral Innovation: Engineering and the Sciences for a Just and Sustainable Future,” invites Jesuit institutions to lead in shaping a future where technological and scientific advancement is guided by ethical responsibility, solidarity with the poor, and care for our common home.
Rooted in the Jesuit tradition of holistic formation and service to the margins, the summit aims to foster cross-disciplinary dialogue, promote student-led initiatives, and build regional partnerships. It calls on educators, researchers, practitioners, and students to reimagine the role of science and engineering not only as tools for progress, but as pathways toward equity, peace, and ecological integrity.
