For the Netherlands, it is therefore important, coordination is essential. Here the IIAS plays a central role: it acts as strengthening Asian Studies, with a focus on young postdoc that there is access to information and knowledge about this region. the ‘research and development (R&D) department’ of Dutch Asian researchers. It is our experience that although a limited group of The proper knowlegde and expertise should enable us to nurture and Studies.

If the IIAS wants to intensify scientific cooperation at a national level, The international role of the Netherlands in Asian Studies should not Alongside its well-chosen academic activities, the IIAS has to focus in besides paying attention to postdoc research programmes, it will have to be underestimated. The Netherlands takes a leading position in this particular on this facilitating, coordinating function. Its financial means focus on (PhD) students as well. Future IIAS research programmes will field.

The original accent on the postdocoral function of the IIAS was based None of this can be done without international cooperation.

Cooperation at tasks which cannot or only with more difficulty be undertaken by a European and Atlantic level will considerably increase the quality of In the years 2001-2005, the IIAS will therefore continue to concentrate research schools.

The Institute was established in 1993 on the initiative of the Royal Netherlands

Academy of Arts and Sciences, the Universiteit Leiden, the Universiteit van

Amsterdam, and the Vrije Universiteit, Amsterdam. It is mainly financed by the

Netherlands Ministry of Education, Culture, and Sciences. The IIAS has played

an active role in coordinating and disseminating information on Asian Studies

throughout the world. The Institute acts as an (inter)national mediator, bringing

together interested individuals and institutes for the enhancement of Asian

Studies both within and outside of the Netherlands. [p 8 | section 1] IIAS annualreport The IIAS and its Organization [section 1 |p 9]

About the IIAS IIAS Branch Office Amsterdam Board

The International Institute for Asian Studies is a postdoctoral research The Institute’s website has an increasing number of links to institutes In 1997 the IIAS Branch Office Amsterdam was established. The The IIAS Board and its Academic Committee are composed of delegates center based in Leiden and Amsterdam. Its main objective is to encourage and research projects involved in Asian Studies. The IIAS has compiled Universiteit van Amsterdam (UvA), one of the founders of the IIAS, from various Dutch universities and institutes, a choice to guarantee the study of Asia and to promote national and international cooperation a database containing up-to-date information on researchers and underlined the importance of an active and visible role of the UvA in the IIAS has a national coverage. The Board is responsible for the in this field. The institute focuses on the humanities and the social institutes in the field of Asian Studies. Every four months the Institute the activities of the IIAS. A branch office would offer facilities to IIAS general management of the Institute and ensures that its objectives are sciences and, where relevant, on their interaction with other sciences. also publishes a unique newsletter (23,000 copies) covering a wide research fellows to do research in Amsterdam and, simultaneously, achieved.

The aim of the IIAS, a postdoctoral institute is to encourage the study of Asia

and to promote national and international cooperation in this field. The institute

focuses on the humanities and the social sciences and, where relevant, on their

interaction with other sciences. Through its activities, the IIAS endeavours to

build upon what have been considered tradional regional and disciplinary

specializations of Dutch Asian Studies and, at the same time, to stimulate

research which thus far has fallen outside the scope of this tradition. [p 16 | section 2] IIAS annualreport IIAS Research [section 2 |p 17]

Performing Arts of Asia: Tradition and Innovation; The Expression of Identity in a Changing World (PAATI)

After four years the PAATI programme was concluded in the summer of 2001. The programme analysed and compared processes of change in Asian performing arts, and, in particular, traditional Asian theatre. The focus was on the way in which the performing arts are institutionalized and standardized; how they balance between flexibility and fixation, influenced by globalization and localization; and how these processes of change affect form, content, and organization of the teaching. On 21 June a final presentation of the results of the PAATI research project was held in Leiden. The three research fellows and the programme director reported on their research. Thereupon, both the final report ‘PAATI Research (1997-2001)’ and the evaluation report by Stuart Blackburn (SOAS, London) were then presented (see Annex 2).

One of the aims of the IIAS is the organization of international scientific

gatherings. Therefore the IIAS stimulates its fellows to organize international

seminars in order to promote both the internationalization of learning, and the

cooperation between specialists from various countries with diverse

backgrounds. Besides these seminars organized by research fellows, which are

also mentioned in Section 2, the IIAS holds its own institutional seminars,

workshops, and lectures. Moreover, the IIAS works in close cooperation with its

MoU-partners and related institutes or organisations (national and

international) in the organization of joint international seminars both in the

Netherlands and abroad. [p 34 | section 3] IIAS annualreport Seminars and Institutional Events [section 3 |p 35]

The institutional communication activities of the IIAS (the IIAS

Newsletter, the publications, the website, and the database), contribute to

the overall information strategy of the IIAS, which is to publicize the

activities of the institute itself and other activities in the field of Asian

Studies to as large an audience as possible.

The IIAS Newsletter, which is published in English, clearly reflects the

coordinating function of the IIAS. It strives to be a newsletters’

newsletter, containing information about Asian Studies worldwide. The

publications of the IIAS reflect its dual function, having either an

academic or an informative character.

The IIAS website is a significant tool in providing the rapidly increasing

volume of digital information and electronic communication in the field of

Asian Studies. The IIAS database contains information on researchers and

institutions in the field of Asian Studies worldwide. It is seen as major back-

up to the facilitating objective of the IIAS. It is also possible to organize a

mailing label service for institutions with an interest in Asian Studies. [p 54 | section 5] IIAS annualreport Newsletter, Publications, Website, Database [section 5 |p 55]
