ISEAS – Yusof Ishak Institute (ISEAS) 尤索夫伊萨东南亚研究院, formerly Institute of Southeast Asian Studies, was established as an autonomous organisation by an Act of Parliament in 1968. It was renamed ISEAS – Yusof Ishak Institute in August 2015 in honour of Singapore’s First President, Mr Yusof Ishak.
Its primary objectives are:
- To be a leading research centre dedicated to the study of socio-political, security, and economic trends and developments in Southeast Asia and its wider geostrategic and economic environment.
- To stimulate research and debate within scholarly circles, enhance public awareness of the region, and facilitate the search for viable solutions to the varied problems confronting the region.
- To nurture a community of scholars interested in the region and to engage in research on the multi-faceted dimensions and issues of stability and security, economic development, and political, social and cultural change.
The Institute conducts a range of research programmes; holds conferences, workshops, lectures and seminars; publishes briefs, research journals and books; and provides a range of research support facilities, including a large library collection.
