Welcome to the Harvard-Yenching Institute
Founded more than eighty years ago through the
generosity of the estate of Charles M. Hall, the Harvard-Yenching Institute
is an independent foundation located on the campus of Harvard University.
The Institute currently enjoys partnerships with more than fifty universities
and research centers in East and Southeast Asia. We support doctoral
scholarships, visiting fellowships, academic publications, advanced training
programs, conferences and other scholarly initiatives—in Asia, at Harvard
University, and elsewhere—intended to increase scholarly communication and to
promote graduate and post-graduate research in Asian studies. We invite you
to visit our website often to learn more both about us and about Asia.
—Elizabeth J. Perry, Harvard-Yenching Institute Director and Henry
Rosovsky Professor of Government, Harvard University
