Research programmesThe collaborative thematic research programmes set up by the IIAS are to be developed and executed by promising research fellows in co-operation with a programme director and, if necessary, with the support of senior visiting fellows and/or coaching, i.e. by a supervision committee.

ProjectsABIA South and Southeast Asian Art and Archaeology Index The Annual Bibliography of Indian Archaeology (ABIA) project is a global network of scholars co-operating on an annotated bibliographic database for publications covering South and Southeast Asian art and archaeology. Asia Design IIAS has started a few initial activities to set up a research programme that will consist of a number of individual projects related to design in Asia. Energy Programme Asia The objective of the EPA-research programme are twofold: 1. Energy supply security and geopolitics 2. Energy efficiency, alternative energy resources and sustainable development. Gender, migration and family in East and Southeast Asia Developed from an earlier research project (see annual report 2006) on Intermediated Cross-border Marriages, this project is a comparative study on intra-regional flows of migration in East and Southeast Asia with a focus on gender and family. It aims at studying the linkage between the immigration regimes, transnational families and migrants' experiences. Genomics in Asia: Socio-Genetic Marginalization This research programme studies the socio-political implications and practices of the development and application of the new biomedical and genetic technologies in Asian religious and secular cultures. IIAS Centre for Regulation and Governance The IIAS Centre for Regulation and Governance is the first European research centre devoted to the study of regulation and governance in Asia. The Centre engages in innovative and comparative research on the theories and practices of regulation and governance. Focusing on emerging markets of Asia such as China, India, South Korea, and Indonesia, the Centre serves as a focal point of collaborative research between European and Asian scholars. It emphasises multidisciplinarity in its research undertakings which combine approaches from political economy, law, public administration, criminology, and sociology in the comparative analysis of regulatory issues in Asia and in developing theories of governance pertinent to Asian realities. Illegal but Licit: Transnational Flows and Permissive Polities in Asia Islam in Indonesia: The Dissemination of Religious Authority in the 20th and Early 21st Centuries Jatropha Research and Knowledge network (JARAK) IIAS has become partner in a new network called JARAK, the Jatropha Research and Knowledge network on claims and facts concerning socially sustainable jatropha production in Indonesia. Jatropha is crop that seems very promising: it can be used as a clean non-fossil diesel fuel and it can provide new income sources in marginal areas that will grow the crop.
Science and History in Asia IIAS, the Scaliger Institute of Leiden University, the Needham Research Institute in Cambridge and the Recherches Epistémologiques et Historiques sur les Sciences Exactes et les Institutions Scientifiques (REHSEIS) in Paris have started a scholarly network of researchers who address topics of the history of science in Asia. |
