What Does ICES Do ?

ICES is a Brussels-based think tank seeking to foster better mutual understanding between China and Europe by supporting academic research in a broad range of fields, including but not limited to maritime affairs and ocean management, business and trade, international law, and global governance.


Initiated by the Hainan Free Trade Port Research Foundation, ICES also aims to increase knowledge-sharing avenues between China and Europe, with a focus on the development of free trade ports in general, and on the Hainan Free Trade Port and the development of Hainan Island into a pilot zone for ecological conservation in particular.


To achieve its objectives, ICES organises academic events and conferences, publishes research papers and reports, and supports academic exchanges, so as to promote the free flow of ideas and people between Europe and China.
