Our Perspective
First and foremost, the mission of the Koç University Center for Asian Studies (KUASIA) is to produce and disseminate high quality comparative and interdisciplinary academic and policy-relevant research on Asia. Other main objectives are providing government and business circles with policy relevant analysis on the region and working closely with national and international academic institutions both in the region and beyond. We accomplish these goals by organizing public lectures, seminars, and conferences on various social, cultural, economic, security and political issues.
