The Jao Tsung-I Academy of Sinology is dedicated to the communication between the academic communities between the East and the West and facilitation of innovative development of Sinology. The Academy is pleased to form a partnership with the Institute of Oriental Studies (IOS), Russian Academy of Sciences and devise a five-year plan together. This collaboration aims to forge a stronger bond between the two institutions, and by extension the two sinological communities, in terms of teaching and research while developing exchange and cooperation opportunities in these areas.
Established in 1818, the Institute of Oriental Studies of the Russian Academy of Sciences is the largest research institution of its kind in Russia, enjoying two centuries of success and grow as a state-funded institution. In 2007, the Saint Petersburg Branch was reorganized into a separate Institute of Oriental Manuscripts, while the Institute of Oriental Studies remains in the original location in Moscow. The Institute has so far completed and published a Russian translation of the Classic of Poetry, the Classic of Changes, the Tao te ching, and the Great Ming Legal Code. Our partnership with IOS is going to grow from strength to strength and set a new milestone for the research portfolio and international network of the Academy.
Beginning in October 2021, JAS and IOS, together with the Research Centre for History and Culture (Beijing Normal University - Beijing Normal University-Hong Kong Baptist University United International College), will co-organize the Online Lecture Series “New Perspectives on the Old World.” Speakers from top research institutes will take turn as keynote speakers and give online lectures. Through this initiative, we will leverage the competitive advantages of the three distinct sinological communities and engage in a series of high-end, cutting-edge discussions in key academic issues in Sinology.
