These events serve all three of the Center''s main purposes: research, training, and outreach.

BCSIA Board Of Directors'' Meetings
The BCSIA Board of Directors meets every Tuesday of the academic year. The purpose of the meetings is to allow Board Members to keep abreast of the research projects under way across the Center''s areas of expertise, and to maintain the sense of community and ownership among the Center''s leaders. The focus of these meetings is an interdisciplinary seminar, about half of which are led by Board Members, and the other half by distinguished outside guests. Most meetings take place in the BCSIA Library over lunch; the third meeting of each month, however, takes place off-site over dinner.September 21, 1999

Harvard University Faculty Seminar On Information Policy And The Asia-Pacific Region
The HIIP created in 1997 and organizes the Harvard University Faculty Seminar on Information Policy, which is chaired by Kennedy School Dean Joseph S. Nye, Jr. During the first two years, the theme of the faculty seminar was Information Infrastructure and Governance. The focus shifted in 1999-2000 to Information Policy and the Asia-Pacific Region and offered the opportunity to enlist the cosponsorship of the Asia Center, Harvard University. The seminar is intended to increase cooperation and multidisciplinary activity throughout Harvard and to create networks among faculty interested in information infrastructure issues. Faculty throughout the university have participated in the seminar and brought their expertise to bear on the interplay of information infrastructure and governance, the manner in which their fields will affect or be affected by this dynamic, and the relationships of their domains to others, both those with which they have traditionally shared borders and those with which now, due to information technology advances, they have begun or will soon begin to overlap or to share common boundaries.
