Announcement of Name Change
We are pleased to officially announce the reorganization of our centre, the Center for Far Eastern Studies, into the Global Research Centre for Advanced Sustainability Science (GRASS), effective April 1, 2023. Our website will undergo a renewal to reflect this change. We appreciate your patience during this transition and look forward to sharing our updated platform soon.
GRASS will focus on advancing sustainability research on a global scale, addressing environmental and social challenges, and fostering innovative solutions for a sustainable future. Stay tuned for more information on the launch of GRASS and its contributions to sustainability science.
