The Asian Century Research School Network (ACRSN)
Nordic Institute of Asian Studies (NIAS), Copenhagen, Denmark.
Self-description:
"The ACRSN is envisioned as a "network research school" based on the exchange of teachers, students, and other research resources at a Nordic level to facilitate a much-needed "critical mass" and create synergy amongst scattered Asian Studies environments [There are about 150 Asian Studies locations in the Nordic region - ed.]. The ACRSN is established to strengthen the education and training of PhD candidates within the social sciences and the humanities. The school will provide value-added advanced training in understanding and analysing contemporary Asia in a historical and comparative perspective and with special reference to political, social, economic, environmental and cultural dynamics and contexts."
