The main objectives steering this research project are:
- To establish, facilitate, and strengthen worldwide connections between museums which feature artefacts and exhibitions pertaining to the Chinese diaspora.
- To exchange experiences and ideas of how museums engage in collecting, curating, preservation, public engagement and education, for a better understanding and promotion of diasporic Chinese histories and to facilitate the development of diasporic Chinese communities in the host countries and their cultural exchange with China.
- To enhance cooperation between museums for exhibitions, forums and other formats of events.
- To promote collaboration between museum scholars, museum practitioners and policymakers toward the development of a ‘diasporic Chinese museology’, contributing to the interdisciplinary research of migration and museums in the Chinese context and beyond.
