The Asian Studies Department and the Center for East Asian Civilization at SWPS University cordially invite you to participate in the scientific conference 'East Asia: Shared Heritage, Shared Future?', which will take place on September 19-20, 2024, at the SWPS University in Warsaw.
The main goal of the conference is to integrate the Polish community of individuals engaged in research on the East Asian region, primarily Japanologists, Koreanists, Sinologists, and political scientists.
We hope that the discussions will provide an opportunity not only for the presentation of scientific achievements but, above all, for in-depth discussions and the exchange of views among representatives of various fields within the humanities and social sciences.
