The Fifth Annual General Meeting of the European Consortium for Asian Field Study (ECAF) and the Second International Conference organized by the FP7 program Integrating and Developing European Asian Studies (IDEAS), entitled National and Regional Identities: Appropriating the Past, are held back to back on February 4-5 at the Institute of Chinese Studies, The Chinese University of Hong Kong, a founding associate member of the ECAF.
The General Meeting marks a turning point in the development of the ECAF. First, in 2012 a new system of institutional partnerships will be put in place in several of the EFEO/ECAF Centers, offering researchers and students affiliated with ECAF partner institutions the opportunity to make use of a private or semi-private work spaces and shared facilities in the Centers in Asia. Then, during 2012-2013, a new program of visiting fellowships for fieldwork in the EFEO/ECAF Centers will be created. Fellows receiving grants will be expected to dedicate part of their time to the host Center's scholarly activities. Another main item on the agenda are the options for ECAF to acquire a legal status that would allow it to receive funding, as a certain number of members have requested.
