Dunhuang institute lures foreign experts  

兰州大学与境外多个国家和地区合作研究“敦煌学”

敦煌学已成为一门国际性的热门学科，坐拥地理优势的兰州大学敦煌学研究所俨然成为海内外高校学者研究的国际平台。

Lanzhou (CNS) -- The Institute of Dunhuang Studies at Lanzhou University serves as a comprehensive platform to promote exchanges and cooperation with foreign counterparts from the US, Japan, Russia, the UK, France and others, Zheng Binglin, director of the institute, said Thursday.

The study of Dunhuang, a major stop on the ancient Silk Road, has developed into an independent field of research since the Mogao Caves were discovered in Gansu Province at the beginning of the 20th century.

We invariably make efforts to invite foreign experts, scholars and students to our institute to introduce different perspectives and ideas, said Deng.

In August, the institute invited Professor TAKATA Tokio from the University of Kyoto to be a guest lecturer.
