Nordic Indonesia Studies Network

The Nordic Indonesia Studies Network is a scholarly, non-political, non-profit professional initiative to foster scholarly cooperation within the Nordic countries in the field of Indonesian studies.
The inaugural workshop of the Network was held in 2009 at the Nordic Institute of Asian Studies in Copenhagen with 35 participants from Indonesia, Malaysia, Norway, Denmark, Finland, Sweden, Germany, United Kingdom, and the Netherlands. The theme was “Ten Years of Democracy in Indonesia (1998-2008)”. In April 2010, and despite being hampered by the volcanic ash plume, the second workshop, with the theme “Developing Indonesia”, was held at NIAS in Copenhagen.
The aim of the network is to bring together a variety of researchers; from the most experienced Indonesia hands to the youngest researchers who are just commencing their studies, and from all disciplines within the social sciences.
NISN seeks to promote and encourage the study and teaching of all aspects relating to the society, culture and literature of the Republic of Indonesia. The network organizes seminars, and workshops for scholars, Ph.D. students, MA students, and other interested parties. It aspires to encourage discussion among members on topics of Indonesian interest, and to promote and enhance the interest in Indonesian studies within the Nordic countries.
