IDP-CREA: Cultural Routes of Eurasia

International Dunhuang Project, British Library, London, UK.

"IDP-CREA is a 15-month collaborative project (April 2008 to July
2009) between six EU partners (from the UK, Hungary, France, and
Germany) and three associate partners from China. We are working on
an innovative project that will draw together some of the remarkable
stories of the European explorers, archaeologists and scholars who
travelled to China in the early years of the twentieth century. Their
stories will be used to illustrate a shared Eurasian culture that has
existed for centuries - and which continues to this day."
