The objective of the ARF is to further develop research capabilities and knowledge of scholars and/or government officials from ASEAN member states by immersing them in a dynamic and supportive research environment where they can enhance their understanding of oceans law and policy.
The ARF Programme (Oceans Law and Policy) provides an exciting opportunity to engage with and learn from other oceans law and policy scholars and experts in the CIL Oceans Law and Policy Team. CIL may also provide the ARF with other opportunities to attend regional and international conferences, workshops and symposiums as well as other scholarly opportunities.

The ARF may also be expected to help with organization of conferences and workshops related to their scholarly work. The key deliverable of the ARF is a research paper which the ARF will be expected to present at the end of the Programme.
