Self-description:
"NIAS was founded as an independent Asian studies institute in 1968. In partnership with the Nordic Council of Ministers we have maintained a commitment throughout to contribute to the development of Asian studies in the Nordic region. The Nordic Council of Ministers remains our main financier. From 1 January 2005, NIAS assumed a new status. [...] * NIAS has new owners. [...] * The 'new' NIAS will be a hub for Asian studies in the Nordic region with a range of services and activities that will support the development of Asian studies and enhance the visibility and applications of Asian studies. * The 'new' NIAS will coordinate an initiative to establish a Nordic, networked research school, The Asian Century Research School. NIAS will also expand the NIAS SUPRA Programme for Nordic Master and PhD students. * The 'new' NIAS will strive to make Asian studies more visible in the business community that deals with Asia. * Through NIAS LINC the 'new' NIAS will tailor-make research-based information services to the needs of its users. * NIAS has a breadth and depth of research and other services, activities and outputs, the combination of which is unique in the Nordic countries. [...] The new partnership A consortium comprising of Copenhagen Business School and University of Copenhagen in Denmark, and Lund University in Sweden have agreed to take over from the Nordic Council of Ministers the collaborative responsibility - as founding partners - for continuing NIAS as an academically independent research and service institute with a Nordic responsibility.
