Agenda November 2014 |

The École française d'Extrême-Orient, though not an educational institution, makes training and the publishing of research results one of its priorities. Along with the direction of doctoral candidates and the enrollment of students in its Centres across Asia, many regular seminars are conducted by its teacher-researchers. In this regard we may note the resumption in November of some ten annual courses given by those here in France (see below), administered in large part within the framework of the École Pratique des Hautes Études (EPHE) and the École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales (EHESS). We should also mention the agreement, ratified this month, by the EFEO along with INALCO to continue the "Manusastra" project (Summer School in Phnom Penh), its active role in the organization of the "Journées de Tam dao [Tam dao Days]" (Summer School in Hanoi), and its many specialized training workshops (Pondicherry, Siem Reap, etc.), all representative of the training programs that the EFEO intends to undertake in connection with local institutions of higher education in the twelve Asian countries in which it operates.
