Outlook

In the future the close collaboration between the leading institutes for East Asian research in Europe and Asia will advance the globalization of research and teaching in this area. The IN-EAST has already acquired an international reputation for its research in the fields of economics and social sciences. In addition, its current commitment to the education of the next generation of East Asian scholars has made its academic profile even more clear-cut. Another stated goal of IN-EAST is to conduct more comparative research on East Asia in comparison with other countries and regions.
