Leiden Asia Year 2017/2018In September 2017 the University will open its new Asian Library, an internationally recognised
centre of expertise on Asia, that will assemble under one roof all the University’s collections on the
region, making them accessible to students, researchers and other interested parties.
The opening of the Asian Library will be one of the key events of the Leiden Asia Year 2017.
The aim of the Leiden Asia Year 2017 is to put Leiden (the city, its museums and the University)
more firmly on the international map as one of the world’s leading knowledge hubs on Asia,
covering research, teaching, collections and expertise. In close collaboration with the municipality
of Leiden, the museums and other organisations and partners in the city, the University will be
organising symposia, conferences, lectures and exhibitions in the city throughout 2017, all on the
theme of Asia.
