What\u2019s On<\/h1>\n

The Society runs an active programme of public lectures, seminars, book launches and other events throughout the year on a range of subjects relating to Asia.<\/h4>\n

These events are usually held at the Society\u2019s Lecture Hall in London and each is accompanied by a small reception. Unless otherwise specified, our events are open to all members of the public and no booking is required. There is no charge for our regular lectures and, where possible, events are streamed live over Zoom. If you would like to attend any of these events online, please contact Evelyn Dodds by email: emd@royalasiaticsociety.org<\/a> and the Zoom link and password will be provided. Please note the number of online attendees is limited so early registration is advised.<\/p>\n
