J. S. Lee Memorial Fellowship Programme
The J. S. Lee Memorial Fellowship Programme (the “Programme”) was established in 2008 by Bei Shan Tang Foundation (the “Foundation”) in memory of its founder, Dr. Lee Jung Sen. The Programme aims:
- to promote international exchange of scholarship and museum practice for the development of traditional Chinese art; and
- to contribute to the professional development and enhancement of Chinese art historians and museum professionals through supporting research, training and collaborative projects at museums and art institutions around the world.

The Programme supports outstanding and promising museum professionals and scholars in the field of Chinese art and culture to conduct research or gain curatorial and museum experience through fellowship attachments (the “Fellowship”) at foreign museums and academic institutions for a period of 4 to 12 months on a full-time basis. Past projects supported by the Programme covered topics of Chinese art history study, curatorship, archaeology, conservation, museum management, museum education, and more.
