SNUAC’s Regional Centers, Thematic Programs, and the HK+ Mega-Asia Research Project

SNUAC combines region-specific Asian studies with thematic research. It actively conducts research and disseminates findings through seven regional centers, eight thematic programs, and the HK+ Mega-Asia Research Project, supported by the National Research Foundation of Korea. In addition, SNUAC undertakes initiatives to foster the next generation of regional experts and to share Asia-related knowledge with the public.
