Agenda 04 - 10 September 2022

The African Studies Centre Leiden is celebrating its 75th anniversary this year! The ASCL was founded on 12 August 1947 as the Afrika-Instituut. It consisted of a scientific documentation centre in Leiden - later renamed as the Afrika-Studiecentrum - and a trade office in Rotterdam, which later changed its name to the Netherlands-African Business Council. In 2016 the ASCL became an interfaculty institute of Leiden University. We will organise a day full of festivities highlighting this anniversary, which will take place on Thursday 8 September at the National Museum of Ethnology in Leiden. Please find a few highlights of the programme below. More information about registration will follow soon!
