ERIA
ERIA is an international organization established by a formal agreement among 16 Heads of Government at the Third East Asia Summit in Singapore on 21 November 2007. It works closely with both the ASEAN Secretariat and 16 research institutes in EAS countries to provide intellectual and analytical research and policy recommendations. The ERIA Headquarters is based in ASEAN Secretariat, Jakarta, Indonesia.

ERIA is the only think tank in ASEAN to be honored in this category. ERIA conducts research under three pillars, namely “Deepening Economic Integration”, “Narrowing Development Gaps”, and “Sustainable Development”. Studies cover a wide range of areas such as trade and investment, globalization, SME promotion, human resource and infrastructure development, and energy issues.
