Founded in 2012, the Société Française d’Études du Monde Tibétain (French Society for Tibetan Studies) brings together students, teachers, researchers and specialists of the Tibetan world.
Within the realm of Tibetan studies it aims to maintain and develop:
- research and exchanges between researchers, teachers, students and specialists
- dissemination of scientific and cultural information
- dialogue between various existing academic institutions
- relations with French and foreign institutions
SFEMT website provides information on teaching and research structures in France, news about research in Tibetan world studies in France and abroad (conferences, publications, vivas, postings and scholarships, etc.), and cultural events related to the Tibetan world (film releases, screenings, exhibitions, etc.).
Since 2012 SFEMT has organised:
- an annual cycle of conferences (6 to 8 conferences per academic year) in which specialists of the Tibetan world present their research. Several of these conferences are registered and made available on the SFEMT Youtube channel
- themed workshops (“Trichology in the Tibetan world” in 2014, “Tibetan Studies in France” in 2016, « French Tibetology in the 20th Century » in 2022)
- days given over to PhD students (2013, 2018, and 2021)
- public conferences, film screenings, encounters with authors, etc.
- exhibitions, such as the photographig exhibition of French Earliest Tibetologists
