Science and Technology in the Pacific Century

This initiative will address a series of issues concerning the development in science and technology in East Asia, as well as developments in the East Asian market, and how these are already transforming American science technology and industry.

STIP is a three-year cross-disciplinary initiative of the University of Illinois’s Center for Advanced Study and the Center for East Asian and Pacific Studies (EAPS). Co-sponsored by over twenty university units, STIP activities include public lectures, symposia, workshops, hosting visiting scholars, supporting guest lecturers in undergraduate classes and a semester-long seminar for faculty and graduate students. STIP is also part of the IL/IN East Asia Initiative, a partnership between EAPS and the East Asian Studies Center at Indiana University.
