We in the First World have produced meanwhile, "excellence clusters"
which work "within the framework of a junior research group," to
maintain "a focus on information flows." I quote from a source that

"the Cluster of Excellence 'Asia and Europe in a Global Context:
Shifting Asymmetries in

Cultural
Information Flows: Europe and South Asia in the Global Information
Network
since the Nineteenth Century'. The research group maintains a focus
on information flows..."
