MEARC Representative Office BeijingOn 4 April 2011, MEARC opened its first representative office in Beijing, China. Establishing this representative office at the Minzu University of China, is part of both Leiden University's and MEARC's aim to raise the strength and visibility of research on modern East Asia. Both MEARC and Leiden researchers this cooperation will bring many exciting opportunities in conducting, discussing and disseminating research on modern East Asia as well as communicating these outcomes to a broad international audience. MEARC is particularly excited about the increasing possibilities for engaging with scholarship within and from, not only about, East Asia.

In an attempt to reach out to as broad an audience as possible that might benefit from the research done by our research community, MEARC is hosting the following national and international networks:
ACO
The Dutch Academic China Meeting (Academisch China Overleg or ACO) was launched in Groningen in November 2004 in the presence of the President of the Royal Dutch Academy of Sciences (KNAW), Prof. Pim Levelt, the present Secretary-General of the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Dr. Philip de Heer, and the Vice Chancelor of the University of Groningen, Prof. Frans Zwarts.It can be expected that in the foreseeable future China will be one of the world’s largest centres for academic research and education. On the other hand, in many disciplines Dutch universities are at the forefront of international research. Several Dutch universities are among the World Top 100 ranking of universities. It is therefore no wonder that an active and dynamic scholarly process of cross-fertilization has emerged between The Netherlands and China.
Over the years, a wide variety of exchange programs and cooperative projects have been established between The Netherlands and China. The ACO has been established in response to these exiting developments. Dutch researchers from several research institutes and departments of the universities of Amsterdam, Delft, Groningen, Leiden, Twente, Utrecht and Wageningen – have joined forces to shape the ACO.
