We Are the Indo-Pacific Studies Center (IPSC)
Advancing regional cooperation, strategic thinking, and people-powered policy across the Indo-Pacific.
What Drives Us
The Indo-Pacific Studies Center (IPSC) is an independent, non-partisan think tank committed to advancing regional cooperation, democratic governance, security, and sustainability in the Indo-Pacific.
We convene scholars, emerging leaders, and policy actors to generate forward-looking ideas and collaborative solutions to the region’s most pressing challenges.
“IPSC exists to think beyond borders — building the Indo-Pacific not just as a region, but as a shared future.”

Why the Indo-Pacific Matters
The Indo-Pacific is not just a geopolitical construct — it is a dynamic region of more than half the world’s population, rich in diversity, innovation, and strategic potential.
From rising powers and contested waters to youth-led innovation and multilateral dialogue, this region will define the 21st century. IPSC is committed to shaping that future — as a network, as a think tank, and as a collaborative platform for impact.

We invite researchers, practitioners, students, and institutions to collaborate with IPSC — through our fellowships, policy labs, internships, and regional partnerships.
