1995
In 1995 the IIAS will start a series of fortnightly lectures by the research
fellows on their research. The lectures will be held Thursdays at lunchtime
(between 1 and 2pm) starting on January 12. Other dates so far confirmed are
January 26, February 9, and February 23.

In February the IIAS plans to organize an "Asia Fair" with poster
presentations by young Asian scholars, an antiquarian bookmarket, and
publishers. The Fair will conclude with a party.

Two or three times a year, IIAS will organize 'Masterclasses' centred on and
under the guidance of prominent scholars. Selected post-docs and advanced PhD
students will be given the opportunity to discuss their research work with the
Master. For more information, see under IIAS News in this issue.
