The HK+ Mega-Asia Project Research Group based at SNUAC was launched in May 2020 with the support of the National Research Foundation of Korea’s grant for regional studies. Promoting the research agenda of “Mega-Asia and Asias: Identities, Dynamics, Data-Telling”, the research group entered its second phase in May 2023. Seeking to establish a new perspective and awareness of Asia through the framework of ‘Mega-Asia’, the research group aims to construct a new paradigm for Asian regional studies by applying a comparative regional studies methodology and adopting an interdisciplinary and convergent research approach. Through this project, SNUAC hopes to establish itself as one of the world’s top three hubs in Asian studies by fostering Asian regional experts over a period of seven years.

• Research on the Phase 2 overall research agenda “Mega-Asia in flux, sustainability, cooperation, and Korea”
• Operation of a fostering program for Mega-Asia regional researchers and experts
