SIG Asia
The Scientific Interest Group "Asia", French Academic Network on Asian Studies, brings together French and French-speaking research units working in all the disciplines of this field (history, geography, literature, sociology, anthropology, religions, political science, philosophy).
Created in 2013, SIG Asia brings together 33 research units, which depend on 25 higher education and research institutions, including the EPHE-PSL. It is intended to foster the decompartmentalization of units by encouraging them to be more transversal in disciplinary, thematic, geographical and institutional areas as well as by promoting work on common themes.
It supports and promotes Asian studies by organizing a congress every two years, awarding a thesis prize and a book prize, and providing support for the activities of young researchers, doctoral students and postdoctoral fellows. Several researchers and doctoral students from the EPHE-PSL, particularly within the CRCAO and GSRL teams, have been able to benefit from its support for conferences, prizes and research projects.
