Editorial
The General Meeting of the EFEO is being held in Paris on September 4 and 5. Bringing together all the researchers currently working in Asia as well as those in France, the meeting this year is focusing on an examination of the scholarly and institutional identity of the School in the context of the rapid development in the field of Asian studies and French and international partnerships. It offers the opportunity to assess current work and projects underway and enables all the scholarly members of the institution to exchange ideas among themselves and with the administrative personnel in Paris. New representatives of the researchers are to be elected to the Administrative and Scholarly Councils at the end of the General Meeting.
