Dr. Eva Hung, former director of Research Centre for Translation, ICS 2. Prof. C. Franciscus Verellen, director, Ecole Française d’Extrême-Orient 3. Prof. David L.

Prof. Vincent Goossaert, deputy director, Groupe Sociétés, Religions, Laïcités, Paris 8. Prof. Glen Dudbridge, formerly Shaw Professor of Chinese, University of Oxford 9. Prof. Grace Fong, associate professor, Department of East Asian Studies, McGill University A new institute affiliation, the ICS Fellow was initiated as part of the 40th anniversary celebrations of the ICS in 2007. The institute hopes to encourage both local and international scholars who have been active researchers at ICS to consider it as their academic ‘home-away-from-home’, to make full use of ICS resources, and participate in its programmes and activities whenever possible. ICS Fellows may be asked to give informal advice, or to give occasional lectures or seminars when they are on campus. As the affiliation is honorary in nature, they will receive no financial remuneration. At its inaugural stage, ICS Fellows will be by invitation only, through nomination by current ICS and CUHK scholars, for their distinguished academic achievements in Chinese studies, and their special long- or short-term relationships with ICS. They will include both local, CUHK, and international scholars. Prof. Jenny S.F. So, director of ICS, hopes to add distinguished scholars continuously to this new family of ICS Fellows. She encourages her colleagues in Chinese studies to nominate scholars of comparable distinction. ICS hopes that this extended ‘family’ of scholars in Chinese studies will contribute to the institute’s future development and offer guidance and advice toward greater achievements in the decades to come.
