We will recruit outstanding experts from both home and abroad in the fields of international law, marine ecology, maritime military, marine economy and international relations, for the purpose of carrying out research on regional issues in the East China Sea, the South China Sea and the Taiwan Strait, where the disputes of maritime rights and interests are relatively severer, the Asia-Pacific region with serious maritime issues and the major principles of global maritime governance.
