Since the EFEO has, in 2015, rejoined the ComUE PSL, a new section is now appearing in this Newsletter giving information on various "PSL News and Activities". One may remember that PSL (Paris Sciences et Lettres [Paris Letters and Science]) now brings together 25 institutions, founding members, or associate members. Among them are several partners of the EFEO in the humane and social sciences, like the Collège de France, École normale supérieure [Higher Normal School] (Ulm), the École Pratique des Hautes Études (EPHE) [Practical School of Advanced Studies], the École des hautes études en sciences sociales (EHESS) [School for Advanced Studies in the Social Sciences] or the École nationale des chartes [National Charts School]. Also included are the University of Paris-Dauphine, with its emphasis on economics and management, and various other prestigious scholarly institutions: the École des Mines [School of Mines], the ParisTech, the Chimie ParisTech, the ESPCI ParisTech, the Curie Institute, the Paris Observatory, the Louis Bachelier Institute, the IBPC-Edmond de Rothschild Foundation, and the Gennes Pierre-Gilles Foundation for research, to which have been added the CNRS, the INSERM, the NRIA, and the Henri IV High School. Training in various areas of the Arts is also represented by equally renowned institutions like the École nationale supérieure des Arts Décoratifs [Advanced National School of the Decorative Arts], the École nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts [Advanced National School of the Fine Arts], the Conservatoire national supérieur de Musique et de Danse de Paris [the Paris National Advanced Conservatory of Music and Dance], the Fémis, and the Conservatoire national supérieur d'Art dramatique [Advanced National Conservatory of Dramatic Art]. In all, the ComUE PSL includes 146 research laboratories, 80 libraries, 2 museums, and looks forward - with more than 3,200 instructor-researchers and about 18,500 students - to cultivating a productive association among the Sciences, Letters, Social Sciences, and the Arts.

A century after its "invention" by George Cœdès (BEFEO 1918), where are we today in our knowledge of this powerful Malay State with it maritime strength? Why are the details of this kingdom that was so prestigious among its contemporaries - from Baghdad to the Middle Kingdom, among sea traders as well as in the Buddhist diaspora -today so difficult for archaeologists to distinguish? Its origins, the location of its political center in Sumatra, its territorial extent, the nature of its political power have all, since 1918, been the object of heated discussions. Research over the past three decades has provided the answers to some of these questions, but there are still many questions that await elucidation.
