The IAFOR Symposium on Preventing and Overcoming Infectious Disease Outbreaks on Cruise Ships: International Challenges & Responses is an event organised by The International Academic Forum (IAFOR) with the support of the Government of Japan through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA). It will present the findings of an international and interdisciplinary research project on infectious diseases on cruise ships commissioned by MOFA, and coordinated through IAFOR and the IAFOR Research Centre at the Osaka School of International Public Policy (OSIPP) at Osaka University.

本シンポジウムは、外務省委託事業「観光旅客船内における感染症の拡大の予防及び感染症が拡大した際の国際的な対応の在り方に関する調査・研究業務」の一環として開催致します。
本委託事業は、2020年10月に外務省よりIAFORに委託され、IAFOR及び大阪大学IAFOR研究センターの協働により実施しております。また、国内有識者及びthe East-West Center (Washington DC), University College London, Clingendael - the Netherlands Institute of International Relations, and the National University of Singaporeの御協力を頂いております。

The project was commissioned in the wake of the impact of COVID-19 on cruise ships throughout the world, and most notably the Diamond Princess, which highlighted many international legal, diplomatic and public health issues. This on-going study brings together Japanese and international experts working in the fields of international and maritime law, international relations, public health and the built environment, and involves the cooperation of University College London, the East-West Center (Washington DC), Clingendael - the Netherlands Institute of International Relations, and the National University of Singapore.
