The ICISE will serve as a prominent academic detination in Asia to bring together world leading scholars to high-level international and regular national conferences. 

Located in Quy Nhon City, the 20 hectare-centre will also host several two-week thematic schools, involving groups of 40 to 50 students and junior researchers, coming mainly from Southeast Asia, accompanied by senior lecturers from Asia, Australia, the Europe and the Americas.
