In mid-September, SASNET will host a panel debate on the present situation in Sri Lanka as well as co-organise an event on how the war in Ukraine has impacted on India, China and Japan. | | | | Ted Svensson, Director, SASNET, Lund University | | | | | | | On 30 September, a SASNET symposium will take place at Biskopshuset in Lund. The symposium will revolve around current research on South Asia that is being carried out at Lund University, and thus promises to be a truly rewarding and stimulating day.

These are only a few of the events that we expect to be able to offer during the coming months. Do check our calendar regularly for updates, and follow us on our social media channels.
