Center for Asia-Pacific Resilience and Innovation (CAPRI)

Based in Taipei and Charlottesville, CAPRI conducts interdisciplinary, comparative research on innovative practices in policy and governance that can strengthen resilience in the Asia Pacific. CAPRI’s vision is to become a leading international think tank that promotes global discourse and provides Asia-Pacific perspectives on improving governance and addressing major policy challenges. It does so in several ways. First, CAPRI undertakes objective policy research on best practices in policy and governance, drawing on both its own staff and a global network of nonresident fellows. Second, CAPRI convenes policymakers, scholars, and industry leaders in global and regional forums to discuss both policy challenges and their most promising solutions. Finally, CAPRI achieves policy impact through engagement with influential leaders across societies and sectors by using a variety of formats and media and cultivating research talent focused on the Asia Pacific as the next generation of leaders.
