中心简介：

The International Chinese Studies Centre (ICSC) was founded in September 2020 at the Foreign Studies School of Hunan Normal University, Changsha, Hunan, China and is located in the Rising Dragon Building, Office no. 309.

国际汉学中心于2020年9月在湖南师范大学（中国湖南长沙）外国语学院腾龙楼309成立。

The Centre deals with ancient, premodern, modern and contemporary China in all of her aspects from multiple perspectives. It applies research methods from a variety of disciplines. ICSC brings scholars from China and abroad together in research, conferences, publications. It especially encourages cooperation between domestic and foreign experts of the same field. Its focus is on the humanities, but it also conducts research in the field of social-economic developments. The Centre supports translation, interpretation and research on translation and interpretation. It translates Chinese factbooks and literary books into German and English in cooperation with a translator workshop with around 100 freelancers and has almost doubled the number of Chinese books published annually in Germany from around 11 to around 20. A desideratum is the translation of Lu Xun’s Works in English and German. Together with Rainer Schwarz, the Centre leadership completed the translation of Dream of the Red Chamber, a classic Chinese novel , which is the first complete German translation of the novel.

该中心从多个角度研究古代、前现代、现代和当代中国的方方面面。它运用各种学科的研究方法。ICSC将中国和国外的学者聚集在一起进行研究、会议和出版。它特别鼓励同一领域的国内外专家之间的合作。它的重点是人文学科，但它也进行社会经济发展领域的研究。 该中心支持笔译、口译和笔译、口译研究。它与一个拥有约100名自由职业者的翻译工作室合作，将中国的资料性书籍和文学书籍翻译成德语和英语，并将每年在德国出版的中国书籍的数量几乎翻了一番，从约11本增加到约20本。一个值得考虑的问题是将鲁迅的作品翻译成英文和德文。中心领导与Rainer Schwarz一起完成了中国经典小说《红楼梦》的翻译工作，这也是该小说的第一个完整德文译本。

ICSC publishes translated books, research outcomes, conference volumes and the academic journals Bulletin of the German China Association (German), European Journal of Chinese Studies (English), European Journal of Sinology (English) and Hanxue (Chinese). The Centre conducts annually in August the World Conference of Chinese Studies in Witten/Germany and a alternating European capital (2020 London, 2021 Brussels, 2022 Berlin), see http://china-studies.com. ICSC cooperates closely with the EU Jean Monnet Chair with joint seminars and events.

ICSC出版翻译书籍、研究成果、会议卷以及学术期刊《德中协会公报》（德语）、《欧洲中国研究杂志》（英语）、《欧洲汉学杂志》（英语）和《汉学》（中文）。 中心每年8月在德国威滕和欧洲首都轮流举办世界中国研究会议（2020年伦敦，2021年布鲁塞尔，2022年柏林），见http://china-studies.com。 ICSC与欧盟Jean Monnet教席紧密合作，共同举办研讨会和活动。
