Convention of Asia

Scholars The International Convention of Asia Scholars (ICAS) engages

participants from all continents in dialogues on Asia that transcend
boundaries between academic disciplines and geographic regions.
ICAS is an active accelerator of research.

Since 1998, ICAS has brought more than 20,000 academics,

civil society representatives, administrators and artists together
at 10 conventions. Publishers, institutes and NGOs converge to display
their products, services and research outcomes in the ICAS exhibition

a platform to launch their publications. With all these activities

ICAS has contributed to the decentring of Asian studies by including
more ‘Asian voices’, while successfully convening a global space
in which Asia scholars from the whole world can directly interact.
