Arrival and Travel

International delegates may fly into Jakarta, and transfer to Jakarta Gambir Train station where regular express trains depart to Purwokerto. For the 5 hour trip in express business class air conditioned carriage, the fare is USD10. There are cheaper trains or buses. Travel by air to Jogyakarta requires a 4 hour car ride on a bendy countryside road, hence we suggest the train.  Further details will be provided to registered participants.  The optional trip to Bandung for meetings on the 25 May involves a 4 hour train trip and one hour drive from Purwokerto.  During the YPA10 conference we will undertake several field trips (price included) in bus together.

We will have over ten AUSN Visiting Professors at the Conference and pre-training, so enrolled students will receive credit for the courses towards their postgraduate Certificate/Masters’ degree at AUSN. The American University of Sovereign Nations (AUSN, www.AU-SN.com) is developed by leading scholars and innovators in different fields with the Fulbright Academy of Law, Peace and Public Health (www.FulbrightAcademyLaw.org).  It represents a monumental historic development: the project represents the development of the First-ever Medical School and First-ever Master of Public Health (MPH) program to be developed and offered on Native American Sovereign Tribal Land. It also offers the First-ever Master of Bioethics and Global Public Health (MBGPH) program in the world; and Postgraduate Certificate in Community and Peace.

AUSN is strongly based in the promotion of respect for human rights, fundamental freedoms, peace, the sense of human dignity, and the promotion of understanding, tolerance and friendship amongst all nations and all Peoples. AUSN is deeply committed to offering excellence of education, academia and scholarship, through which we will, provide our students, researchers and staff the intellectual freedoms and ability to rejoice in the discovery of critical thought and the pursuit of excellence; and properly prepare future leaders of our communities who will be committed and vigorously engaged in helping those who suffer, are burdened by social injustices, or who are stricken by disease, and do so for the benefit of all peoples and populations.
