The Institute of Southeast Asian Studies is dedicated to the study of social, political and economic trends in the region.

The aim of the Institute is to nurture a community of scholars interested in the region and to engage in research within the fields of sociology, anthropology, political science, history and economics in order to understand the multi-faceted dimensions of socio-political and economic change.
