About us

Analysis

The Centre for Asian Affairs monitors the situation in East Asia and Southeast Asia, prepares analyses, reports, recommendations for state institutions at the central and local level, business environment institutions and entrepreneurs, and the wider public opinion. We combine theoretical knowledge with experience gained during studies and work in China, Japan, South Korea and Vietnam.

Experience

The research associates and research fellows at the Centre for Asian Affairs are a group of people with experience in Asian countries. All have been dealing with the political, social and economic issues of this region for years. Each of the experts has studied and worked in the region's countries and have a fluent command in Chinese, Japanese, Korean and Vietnamese languages.

Projects

The Centre for Asian Affairs carries out scientific, research and commercial projects related to analysing the political, economic and social situation in Asia. The CAA research associates and research fellows participate in projects financed by the National Science Center, the European Commission, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Poland, KGHM Polska Miedź, as well as local government authorities and business institutions.

Opinions

"The Centre for Asian Affairs at the University of Łódź is the first university based think-tank in Poland which brings together experts in Asian affairs. The monthly publications significantly contribute to the understanding of the dynamics of East Asia, and the CAA team provides support and the factual and independent background for the political and business activities in the region. Through projects carried out in the international consortium EastAsiaNet and with Nankai University, NCN, KGHM, IDUB UŁ or the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Poland, the Centre's activities are an important part of Asian research centers on the national and international scale."

Rector of the University of Lodz
