The 12th Asian Society of Adapted Physical Education and Exercise Symposium (ASAPE 2012), themed "Contemporary Trends, Research, and Teaching/Coaching/ Programming in Adapted Physical Activity ", will be held at The Hong Kong Institute of Education (HKIEd) from 9 to 11 August 2012.

Professor John Lee Chi-kin, HKIEd’s Vice president (Academic), and Professor Joshua Mok Ka-ho, HKIEd’s Acting Vice President (Research and Development) and Associate Vice President (Research and International Exchange), are the conference advisors to support this Asian-Hong Kong joint event. Vice President (Academic) Professor Lee will deliver the open address at the opening ceremony. The ASAPE 2012 will have 3 keynote speakers from the US and Hong Kong, and more new speakers from other countries participate in this conference. The endorsement by the Asian Council of Exercise and Sports Science, will also make the ASAPE 2012 a truly Asian plus event.

One of the unique features of the ASAPE 2012 is a special program for graduate students. Through a poster and information sharing sessions (Videos and workshops), graduate students will have opportunities to interact and share their experiences with other students from different Asian countries. Various symposiums are added for the participants to have an opportunity to share views on specialized areas. It is hoped that the ASAPE 2012 will provide a platform for future co-operation in adapted physical education and exercise science between higher institutions in Asia and other parts of the world in the future.
