The WHS Regional Meeting Asia, Kyoto 2015, will focus on the most pressing challenges facing Asia, and in particular, Japan. The main theme will be "Building Resilience as a Social Responsibility of Medical Academia".

The program will be organized along three tracks:

- Challenges in a Rapidly Aging Society
- Preparedness for and Resilience after Disasters
- Fostering the Next Generation of Global Health Leaders

As the representative of Japanese medical academia, Kyoto University has been an active member of the M8 Alliance since its launch in 2009. Since the 2011 earthquake off the Pacific coast of Tohoku and the subsequent Fukushima nuclear power plant disaster, Fukushima Medical University has maintained a close relationship with Kyoto University  and it too has now become a significant WHS participant.
