The Network for Asian Studies is a Norwegian research network which promotes studies, research, and information about Asian history, society, culture, politics and the environment.
The network was founded in 1996 and is led by a group of scholars in Norway with a research interest for Asia.
The Network:
- organizes academically stimulating conferences, seminars, and lectures.
- promotes contact between disciplines and institutions.
- encourages recruitment to and promotion of Asian research.
- facilitates and encourages academic cooperation between researchers and research institutions.
The network does not carry out its own research, but promotes research activities on the Asian region.
