Congratulations to the 2026 Cohort of the South China Sea Studies Symposium!
This year, its inaugural cohort brings together 19 scholars and researchers selected from 338 submissions representing 46 countries.
We look forward to seeing the cohort in Manila on November 15! 👋
[ANNOUNCING: 2026 COHORT | SCS STUDIES SYMPOSIUM]
To provide stronger intellectual grounding for the policy discussions at The Manila Dialogue on the South China Sea, and to help bridge the gap between academic research and policymaking, the South China Sea Studies Symposium was launched as the academic component of the Dialogue.
This year, its inaugural cohort brings together 19 scholars and researchers selected from 338 submissions representing 46 countries.
Their research covers a wide range of issues shaping the South China Sea: maritime coercion and gray-zone activities, international law, economic security, subsea cables and critical infrastructure, information operations, minilateral cooperation, and the roles of regional and extra-regional actors.
On November 15, 2026, members of the inaugural cohort will present their draft papers and receive feedback from fellow scholars and experts before developing them into final papers for publication.
South China Sea Studies Symposium
📅 November 15, 2026
⏰ 8:30 AM–4:30 PM
📍 Gallio Events Hall, next to Hyatt Regency City of Dreams Manila
It is also an opportunity to bring established and emerging scholars working on the South China Sea into the same conversation, encourage new research on the region, and create a stronger connection between scholarship and the policy community.
The South China Sea Studies Symposium is made possible with the generous support of Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung (KAS) Philippines.
Congratulations to the inaugural cohort, and see you in Manila on November 15!

AI is no longer just a technology question. It’s a jobs, security & industrial policy question.
@kasphilippines ’ Daniela Braun framed it well: no single expert has the full picture.
So we brought 24 experts, 3 pillars, 1 room to ask what position the PH should take.
We join the nation in commemorating #NinoyAquinoDay, an important reminder for Filipinos of courage and sacrifice for democracy. Let's honor his legacy by continuing to advocate for democracy and a brighter future for all.

A FREE 'E-BOOK' ABOUT THE WPS? 🌊🇵🇭
LOOK: The University of the Philippines – Institute for Maritime Affairs and Law of the Sea (IMLOS) has just published "a concise yet comprehensive document tackling significant aspects of the West Philippine Sea from the point of view of the Philippines."
The 95-page document can be downloaded for free from IMLOS' web site.
Named "The West Philippine Sea: The Territorial and Maritime Jurisdiction Disputes from a Filipino Perspective (The WPS Primer 2026)," the document is an updated version of the primer first published in 2013 by IMLOS and the Asian Center.
"The newest iteration covers significant developments that have happened since, the most notable of which is the 2016 Award in the South China Sea Arbitration, which affirmed the Philippines’ sovereign rights and jurisdiction over its exclusive economic zone in the West Philippine Sea," IMLOS wrote.
