IDP-CREA: Cultural Routes of Eurasia
International Dunhuang Project, British Library, London, UK.
"IDP-CREA is a 15-month collaborative project (April 2008 to July 2009) between six EU partners (from the UK, Hungary, France, and Germany) and three associate partners from China. We are working on an innovative project that will draw together some of the remarkable stories of the European explorers, archaeologists and scholars who travelled to China in the early years of the twentieth century. Their stories will be used to illustrate a shared Eurasian culture that has existed for centuries - and which continues to this day."
