The Leiden Asia Centre brings together a dynamic network of scholars, analysts, and professionals with deep expertise in Asia’s rapidly evolving societies. Our experts span disciplines such as political economy, global governance, migration, technology, and human rights, and focus on key regions including China, India, Japan, Korea, Southeast Asia, and the Indo-Pacific.
They work with us as staff members, affiliated researchers, and partners—many of them based at leading institutions in Europe and Asia. Together, they contribute to our research projects, advise policymakers, and support our public mission to make Asia-focused expertise accessible and actionable.
