East-west Center

The East-West Center strives to fulfill its mission through programs of cooperative study, training and research. Professionals and students from the United States , Asia and the Pacific study and work together at the East-West Center to better understand issues of common and critical concern and explore mutually beneficial ways of addressing them. While the center does not grant any degrees, it provides funding each year for numerous pre-doctoral and post-doctoral scholars to conduct research at the center.

The East-West Center is located on a beautiful campus next to the University of Hawaii just minutes from downtown Honolulu.

The Communications Institute at the East-West Center was founded by famed Communications Scholar Wilbur Schramm who became its director in 1973. The Communications Institute was one of the first research institutions to study the impacts of modern communications technologies, particularly satellites. The institute was merged with Culture Learning Institute in 1984 to become the Institute of Culture and Communications, headed by Mary Bitterman.
