Société Européenne pour l'Etude des Civilisations de l'Himalaya et de l'Asie Centrale

SEECHAC's aim is to make better known the civilisations, arts and religions of the Himalayan and Centralasian countries. SEECHAC's offices are located in Paris at Musée Cernuschi. The Society aims to be truly international: its ambition is to bring together all those who in Europe are interested in the culture of these areas, whether professional or amateurs. It seeks to fill a gap in this field, where it may happen that scholars, curators and enlightened amateurs working feel working in isolation. SEECHAC will be a meeting place for exchanges between specialists of all disciplines. Being a member of SEECHAC helps the Society to be stronger and fill its objectives.

Alongside with its scientific activity (professional meetings, colloquiums, etc) the SEECHAC organises in Paris high level lectures open to all its members, given by specialists, both French and from other countries. Generally they take place at Musée Cernuschi. The program of these lectures is usually announced well in advance on this web site.

Members of SEECHAC are invited to every event organized by SEECHAC. Active participation in these events (delivering a talk etc.) is subject to the agreement of the Executive Council, whose members are elected by the General Assembly for a four years tenure. Every year a General Assembly of all members takes place (see Legal informations).
