On October 26-27, TIGCR's Director Chi Huang and Associate Director Chia-hung Tsai with other TIGCR members, Ching-hsin Yu, Lu-huei Chen, Eric Chen-hua Yu, Nathan Batto and Tsung-han Tsai, participated the International Conference of Asian Election Studies (AES 2018) in Tokyo. The conference was hosted by Keio University.

Director Huang delivered a keynote speech with the topic "Between Micro and Macro: A Personal Electoral Study Odyssey" at the opening ceremony and presented how to analyze voter's behavior by integrating micro- and macro-data with geocoding. TIGCR members also presented three conference papers in their own research fields. They were also the panel moderators and discussants to share the academic experience with the conference panelists from Korea and Japan. Thanks to Higher Education Sprout Project, TIGCR could enhance the international linkage and expand the research horizon with international academic community.
