In the last few years the European Center for Digital Resources in Chinese Studies has built a library of digital resources. Thanks to generous funding by the Alfried Krupp von Bohlen und Halbach-Foundation it is now possible to provide broader access to these databases for students and scientists.

The center is organizing a workshop, which will introduce databases on modern China. This will include hands-on sessions for each database. We especially encourage M.A. students, Ph.D.-candidates and post-docs to apply for this workshop. Participants will have enough time for individual research in the digital and printed resources of our library.

The workshop takes place just a few days before the XV Conference of the European Association of Chinese Studies, August 25-29, 2004, and the workshop participants are therefore encouraged to extend their stay in Heidelberg.

There will be an introduction to the library of the Institute of Chinese Studies by Thomas Kampen.

Deadline for Applications: July 12, 2004
Registration fee: 20 €
The number of participants is limited to a maximum of 8.
