Since 1995 the Asia Council has regularly offered summer study/travel seminars in Asia. The target audience for the seminars is full-time faculty from University System of Georgia institutions with limited background on or experience in Asia. The aim of the seminars is to enable participants to create new courses focusing on an Asian culture, or to infuse more Asia-related content into existing courses. Seminars also enable faculty to establish contacts at Asian institutions with an eye to future exchanges and collaborative research.

The Asia Council offers a summer seminar every other year. Faculty from all disciplines are encouraged to apply. For details on the 2009 seminar to Thailand see below:
