Nordic Southeast Asia Network

The network aims to bring scholars together from the Nordic countries through events that are either organized by the network or individuals within the network or events where it would be fruitful to bring a specific Southeast Asian dimension aboard. Facilitating the exchange between students will be of particular importance. Finally, the network will also be used as a vehicle for fundraising and common projects.
