By effectively integrating existing research and educational activities and networks in the ASEAN region, as well as by expanding collaborative activities with ASEAN universities and research institutions, the Kyoto University ASEAN Center aims to accelerate the promotion of research, education, and international collaborations that lead to the demonstration and development of potential in the region.

Located in Bangkok, Thailand, the ASEAN Center acts as a vital hub to cover the entire ASEAN region, and will collaborate with the Bangkok Liaison Office of Kyoto University’s Center for Southeast Asian Studies, in addition to other relevant institutions. Managed y the Head of the Center, a University Research Administrator (URA), and administrative staff, the ASEAN Center also works in close cooperation with Kyoto University’s International Strategy Office.
