Mission & Goals
The European Institute for Asian Studies (EIAS) is a leading Think Tank focusing on EU-Asia relations. As a policy research centre, its aim is to promote understanding between the European Union and Asia. EIAS seeks to strengthen the ties between Asia and Europe and to ensure in-depth, comprehensive research and information exchange through its activities and publications. Geographically, EIAS focuses on North-East Asia, South-East Asia, South Asia and Central Asia, including related areas, covering a wide range of policy-related domains. By doing so, EIAS provides information to policy makers and other stakeholders in Europe and Asia, as well as on a global scale, offering academic and hands-on expertise to bear on decision-making processes with regard to EU-Asia affairs and developments in Asia. EIAS also acts as a forum for discussion, dialogue and frequent exchanges of ideas, bringing together all relevant stakeholders.
