The development of the ASEAN Institute is based on all aspects of CUG’s advantages, such as the ranking by subject, talents training, academic research and educational internationalization. A globalized talents training system will be achieved in the fields of geology, resources, hydrology, environment, hazards, engineering, public administration and economic management, to name but a few. A geosciences cooperation research and talents training base with international influence will be built to provide intellectual resources, technological services and decision-making advice to the ASEAN countries to give full scope to international cooperation in the field of geosciences, improving China’s educational influence, cultural affinity and integrated service capability among the ASEAN countries, building consensus and wisdom for the shared prosperity of the ASEAN countries and promoting the regional economic sustainable development.
