The Congrès Asie is the major event organized by the GIS Asie every two years. It is the largest Asian Studies gathering in France that crosses disciplinary and sub-area boundaries. It is an international conference, with a large proportion of participants from Europe, Asia and America. It is always co-organized with a member institution and the conference languages are French and English. The programme includes mainly thematic panels, guest conferences, roundtables and a book fair with the presence of major publishing houses. It is a learning opportunity for young researchers, whose participation is highly encouraged and funded by travel grants.
Asia in Care
In 2021, given the health situation, GIS Asie proposed a new event format - two scientific days on the theme: Asia "in care" : the concern for others through the lens of Asian studies. These two days took place online on June 2 and 3, 2021 and brought together nearly 200 participants from 22 countries.
