- Institute of Asian Research
The Institute of Asian Research at University of British Columbia is a research institute founded in 1978 and has been the foremost research centre in Canada for the study of Asia. With a broad geographic reach extending to China, India and South Asia, Japan, Korea and Southeast Asia, the Institute conducts research and teaching in policy-relevant issues informed by language and area studies. The Institute has played a central role in building UBC's excellence in research, teaching and community liaison in matters pertaining to Asia. The Institute has pursued a rich and productive research agenda on many aspects of the human experience in Asia.
The Institute's Master of Asia Pacific Policy Studies (MAPPS) program offers graduate students advanced training in policy analysis and research on current issues relevant to the Asia and Pacific Rim regions. The Institute also serves as a catalyst for inter-faculty and inter-departmental programs and projects on Asia, and has been a vehicle for building connections between Asia-specialist faculty at UBC and non-specialists who are working on Asia-related matters. The Institute has also contributed significantly to UBC's cooperation relationships with local community interests on Asia-related matters.
