Mission and activities

Since the 1980s, dinosaur research especially in East Asia has attracted worldwide attention. However there were no professional place to present and exchange their information such as an excavation results and plans of collaborated exhibition. ADA has been established in July 2013 with a mission to "promote research of paleontology and geology related to Asian dinosaurs; advance dinosaur research and educate general public; support and encourage students and young researchers; develop the culture of dinosaurs".[1][3] ADA Board consists of members from China, Japan, Malaysia, Mongolia, Russia, South Korea, and Thailand. ADA holds a scientific meeting in every two years.

Scientific meetings

ADA holds biennial symposium "International Symposium on Asian Dinosaurs (ISAD)".[4]

Financial supports for students and young researchers who intend to present their research in ISAD are provided to encourage young generation to lead future studies of Asian dinosaurs.[10]

A temporary exhibition "The Amazing Asian Dinosaurs @Siam" was held at Siam Paragon in conjunction with ISAD at Bangkok, Thailand in 2015.[11]
