We are proud to announce that the name of our institute was changed on October 1, 2014.
The International Centre for the Study of East Asian Development(ICSEAD)
↓
Asian Growth Research Institute(AGI)
The name was changed for the following reasons:
- To reflect the fact that the area of our research has been expanding beyond East Asia to include other parts of Asia.
- To clarify that the focus of our institute is on the growth of Asian countries as well as that of Japan and Kitakyushu.
- To make the name more concise and understandable on the occasion of the 25th anniversary of our institute.
