The mission of the LeidenAsiaCentre is to generate valuable knowledge on contemporary issues in Asia and their practical applications for the Netherlands, Europe, and Asia. We are an independent not-for-profit organization. The LeidenAsiaCentre goes beyond academic research and engages diverse societal partners including the business sector, think-tanks, media, and government officials.
We actively foster relationships and networks between the Netherlands and Asia, conducting research that directly addresses societal needs.
Our knowledge is disseminated through engaging lectures, forums, and training courses. We aim to expand public understanding of Asia, while also fostering engagement between the Dutch government and Asian societies.
Introductie
We are situated in Leiden, one of the leading centres for Asian Studies in Europe. Leiden University hosts over 100 academic experts on East, South, and Southeast Asia, and the University’s Asian Library holds an exceptional collection. Being located on Leiden’s Humanities Campus, close to the historic centre, we are in the heart of scholarly knowledge on Asia in the Netherlands.
We have access to the research facilities and vast collections of Leiden University, which enables us to conduct high-quality research. Many of our experts work in academia, and are working at the forefront of research on modern Asia. Our proximity to world-class academic institutions offers us a unique toolbox to expand knowledge on Asia.
Over the years, we have built up an extensive network within academia, which directly contributes to our goal: generating valuable knowledge on contemporary Asia.
