The International Convention of Asia Scholars (ICAS) is one of the
largest regular gatherings of scholars whose research centres on Asia
and/or Asians, especially in the humanities and social sciences. Asian
studies at the start of the new millennium is increasingly
cross-disciplinary and inter-regional in character, a positive
development which ICAS both demonstrates and seeks to further.
Convened in Leiden, the Netherlands in 1998, and Berlin, Germany in
2001, the next conference (ICAS3) will take place in Singapore in August
2003, jointly hosted and organised by the Faculty of Arts and Social
Sciences and the Asia Research Institute of the National University of
Singapore.
The Organising Committee, ICAS3, is pleased to invite the
participation of scholars in any Asia-related field of research.
Proposals for panels, individual papers, posters presentations and
special meetings are now being accepted. Over 1,000 scholars from around
the world are expected to participate in ICAS3. Early registration is
now open and offers substantial savings.
