The International Academic Forum (IAFOR) is an NGO research organization based in Japan.[1]

In 2017, IAFOR established a research centre at the Osaka School of International Public Policy (OSIPP), a graduate school of Osaka University, Japan.[2]

IAFOR holds interdisciplinary academic events in partnership with universities and academic societies in different countries around the world. It also holds more policy-oriented events in collaboration with governments, international organisations, foundations and NGOs, and provides Open Access publications, audiovisual media repositories and an online research archive.[3] It is the publisher of the Scopus indexed journals, the IAFOR Journal of Education and the IAFOR Journal of Literature & Librarianship.

Since the holding of its first conference in October 2009, The Asian Conference on Education (ACE2009),[4] under the theme of "Global Problems, Local Solutions", IAFOR has held more than 200 events on three continents.[5]
