The Nippon Foundation established the Fellowships for Asian Public
Intellectuals (API Fellowships) in cooperation with Asian intellectuals
and organizations in 2000. The participating countries include Indonesia,
the Philippines, Thailand, Malaysia, Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam and Japan.
CSEAS is the partner institution in Japan, and the Japanese secretariat
operates within the Center. The API Fellowships aim to promote mutual learning
and contribute to the growth of public spaces in which effective responses
to regional needs can be generated. It has enabled public intellectuals
in Asia to pursue academic, cultural, and professional projects in the
API participating countries. Since 2001, CSEAS has organized 19 seminars
in which 58 API fellows gave presentations and shared their insights with
staff and students from CSEAS and other institutions.
