Major objectives of the project are:

To strengthen networking among Asian women scholars and to discuss future directions on their activities. 

To build up an academic community among Asian women scholars

To grope the possibility of establishing an interdisciplinary program  of 'Asian Women's Studies' in the curricula at the graduate level.
