中国敦煌吐鲁番学会

中国敦煌吐鲁番学会

中国敦煌吐鲁番学会于1983年8月在兰州成立，以组织与团结国内敦煌吐鲁番学研究者开展相关学术研究与文物保护、推进国际学术文化交流为宗旨。第一任会长为国学大师季羡林，学会秘书处先设立于北京大学，2000年转至首都师范大学。学会主办学术集刊《敦煌吐鲁番研究》和《敦煌学国际联络委员会通讯》。

学会与英、美、日、法、俄等敦煌学研究的重要机构合作，先后在日本京都、美国普林斯顿、俄罗斯圣彼得堡、英国剑桥大学等地举办国际性的敦煌学学术会议，有效促进了全世界敦煌学者之间的联系。学会的成立从根本上改变了“敦煌在中国，敦煌学在国外”的状况。近年来，学会集中力量实施“敦煌文献系统性保护整理出版工程”，这项工程不但保持中国敦煌吐鲁番学的可持续发展，同时也为全世界的学者刊布最全面的敦煌吐鲁番学资料。

Institute of Dunhuang and Turfan Studies of China

The Institute of Dunhuang and Turfan Studies of China (IDTSC) was established in August 1983 in Lanzhou with an aim to organize and unite domestic researchers in Dunhuang and Turfan studies to conduct relevant academic research and cultural relic protection, as well as promoting international academic and cultural exchanges. The first president was the Chinese scholar Ji Xianlin, and the society's secretariat was placed at Peking University, but moved to Capital Normal University in 2000. It publishes the academic journals Dunhuang and Turfan Studies and Dunhuang Studies International Liaison Committee Newsletter.

Over the past few years, the IDTSC has collaborated with major institutions in Dunhuang studies from the UK, the U.S., Japan, France, and Russia, hosting international academic conferences in locations such as Kyoto, Princeton, St. Petersburg, and Cambridge, thus effectively facilitating connections among Dunhuang scholars worldwide. The establishment of the society has fundamentally changed the situation when many sighed, "Dunhuang is in China, but Dunhuang studies are done abroad". In recent years, the IDTSC has focused on implementing the Systematic Protection, Organization, and Publication Project of Dunhuang Literature, which has not only ensured the sustainable development of Dunhuang and Turfan studies in China, but also provided scholars worldwide with the most comprehensive resources on Dunhuang and Turfan studies.
