The adopted projects address specific policy issues facing the world today, and they vary widely. Second, the center runs awards for publication in international academic books and journals, and a book publication grant program. Third, it serves as a platform for research information by gathering and disseminating knowledge and information through holding international conferences and symposia, as well as by publishing discussion papers on the Center website.
