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."
