The research activities and projects of 海角社区-CRIS are organised into two research programmes:

Regions and Cities Governance Lab (ReLab)

The Regions and Cities Governance Lab focuses on understanding the institutional dynamics of regional organisations. In addition to internal developments, Re-LAB studies interregionalism within a multi-level governance ecosystem, exploring how regions and cities engage in an international system that is under stress and in need of reform. 

Regional Public Goods (RPGs)

In an interconnected world, challenges and opportunities rarely stop at national borders. Regional Public Goods are the benefits that neighbouring countries create when they work together.

There are four clusters within the RPG programme

  1. Migration and Social Policy
  2. Economic and Political Interactions
  3. Digital Governance
  4. Nature Climate and Health
