IBA Research Forum is an organization that promotes exchanges of ideas among IBA graduates, students and faculty. It acts as a platform for about 1000 members of the Forum to build broader networks.

Under this Forum, members voluntarily conduct proactive activities such as operating seminars, study groups and workshops to support their research activities, or holding get-togethers such as Christmas parties. Approved study groups receive financial assistance, and 5-10 member groups regularly conduct research activities on their own themes. IBA Research Forum has an exclusive homepage where members exchange various information, such as seminars, research results and fun events like golf competitions, etc. The homepage also has functions for alumnus search, interactions with community members and mail boxes (forum messages).

IBA Research Forum is also a place of learning for IBA students to introduce themselves to up-to-date business issues offered by graduates who have made their marks in the real business world. Students can then feedback their learning into their classes. Even after graduation, they can continuously strengthen their expertise by participating in the IBA Research Forum. It is a center of interaction that enables continuing dialogue with faculty, students and graduates beyond their school days.
