International Convention of Asia Scholars

ICAS 12 goes virtual! 24-28 August 2021

The ICAS Secretariat and Kyoto Seika University, together with all its partners, warmly welcome you to the first virtual edition of ICAS!

The International Convention of Asia Scholars (ICAS) is a biennial meeting platform for academics, cultural and civic actors from all over the world to discuss and share new insights on Asia and in 'Asian Studies' in a multidisciplinary, transsectorial context. ICAS events embrace a wide range of topics in Asian Studies research and Asian affairs in general. They draw from a humanistic social science interest that can include other areas and forms of knowledge, including the arts as well as scientific, policy and practitioners' experiences. 

ICAS's first-ever virtual meeting is expected to bring together over 1,500 international participants who are eager to exchange ideas, discuss innovative and emerging fields of study, and develop collaborations in the field of Asian Studies.
