The German Association of Chinese Studies (DVCS), based in Berlin, was founded at the Humboldt University of Berlin by scholars of Chinese studies from the German Democratic Republic and the Federal Republic of Germany in spring 1990, with the aim of promoting Chinese Studies in Germany, following the abolishment of the inner German border, through joint scholarly activities and academic exchanges. The annual DVCS conferences help to achieve this aim by serving as a platform for the presentation of new research results and for academic discussions, not only for members of the association but also for all who are interested in China. The DVCS attaches special importance to providing a discussion forum for young Sinologists, an organizational roof for research projects, and opportunities for publication. As a recognized non-profit organization, the DVCS acts altruistically and does not pursue economic or party-political objectives. [Application for membership | By-laws]
