@iias.asia
IIAS is a global humanities and social sciences research institute and knowledge exchange platform that supports programmes which engage Asian and other international partners. IIAS aims to contribute to a better and more integrated understanding of present-day Asian realities as well as to rethink 'Asian Studies' in a changing global context. IIAS works to encourage dialogue and link expertise, involving scholars and other experts from all around the world in its activities. IIAS thus acts as a global mediator, bringing together academic and non-academic institutes in Asia and other parts of the world, including cultural, societal and policy organisations. IIAS is located in Leiden, the Netherlands. Originally established (1993) by the Dutch Ministry of Education as an inter-university institute, IIAS today is based at Leiden University, where it works as a globally oriented interfaculty institute with strong connections throughout the Netherlands, Europe, Asia and beyond.

About International Institute for Asian Studies
The International Institute for Asian Studies (IIAS) is a global research institute and knowledge exchange platform situated in the historic city of Leiden in the Netherlands. With a focus on the humanities and social sciences, IIAS aims to foster a better understanding of present-day Asian realities and redefine the field of 'Asian Studies' in a changing global context. By facilitating dialogue and collaboration between scholars and experts from around the world, IIAS acts as a global mediator, bringing together academic and non-academic institutions in Asia and beyond.
Their research is organized around three thematic clusters: Asian Heritages, Asian Cities, and Global Asia, which explore social agency within the cultural and historical contexts of Asian societies. IIAS adopts a multi-sectoral approach and collaborates extensively with academic and non-academic partners. They offer various programs, such as fellowships, academic events, and publication support, and maintain effective communication instruments like 'The Newsletter', a periodical on Asian Studies with a readership of 50,000 worldwide.
