Individual Research by Research Fellows

In order to promote the projects of a think tank, OPRF recruits researchers from various fields to let them study individually making use of each profession. The themes for research and study are chosen, including although not limited to academic research such as a comprehensive maritime policy and coastal management or marine resources and terrorism at sea, and also taking up social problems.
