Since our initial forum on 2002, YNEAN welcomes everyone to our 15th forum. YNEAN Forum is a global forum for university students, in which Northeast Asian students gather to discuss on various issues and fields, build networks, and experience cross-cultural exchanges.

YNEAN is an independent student organization under Yonsei University Leadership center, and is administrated by YNEAN Student Organization Committee, which is constituted by Yonsei University students.

In YNEAN 2016, which will take place on this year August, our main theme is ‘Blooming Asia’. We intend to provide extensive understanding of the political, economic, and cultural causes of conflicts in Northeast Asian region, confer about genuine objective of symbiotic cooperation, cultivate the global capacity of Asian university students, and enlarge international networks.

We, YNEAN Organizing Committee, aim to cultivate future global talents by inviting high school students as observers to our newest forum. For observers, YNEAN 2016 would offer unprecedented experiences as they are given the opportunity to listen to the lectures given by outstanding speakers and participate in the various activities provided. We hope that the observers could further their capacity and insight as the future leaders of Northeast Asia with YNEAN 2016.
