RESEARCH EXCHANGES

We conduct joint research and visiting researcher programs with domestic and foreign universities and research institutions. Here, you will also find information on our researchers’ presentation records, public relations activities, and graduate lectures at universities partnering with us.

RESEARCH PROJECTS

Led by our Research Groups and Consulting Division, we have been working on various research projects, with two being at the core: high-level academic research with the aim of becoming Japan’s leading research institution on Asian studies; and studies as a think tank of Kitakyushu city with a heavy focus on contributions to the local community.

PERSPECTIVES ON EAST ASIA

With information on Asia released by Kitakyushu, we introduce the social and economic trends of Asian countries, centering on East Asia.
We publish our public relations magazine, “Perspectives on East Asia,” twice a year with content such as research reports and information on East Asia.

PUBLICATIONS & REPORTS

We present our academic journals, magazines, and working papers with research results and information on East Asia in various fields contributing to, among others, local economic activities and international policy proposals.

LIBRARY & REFERENCE ROOM

The library has an extensive collection centering on statistical materials on China, South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong and the ASEAN countries.
