On December 3, 2021, the Ecole francaise d’Extreme-Orient (EFEO) celebrated its 120th anniversary with the Academie des Inscriptions et Belles-Lettres. Eight papers shed light on the major research disciplines that have forged the EFEO: the birth of Sinology at the dawn of the twentieth century; the history of Sivaism through the collections of manuscripts in Pondicherry; research on the religions and history of Japan; the renewal of epigraphic studies in the Indian and Indianized world, from the pioneers to today; the beginning of studies in contemporary phenomena and the contribution of new technologies, such as LiDAR, to archaeology in Southeast Asia, highlighting the renewal of research; the history of the EFEO in India, with its establishment in Pondicherry in the 1950s; and anchoring the EFEO in the twenty-first century and its place in the European research area.
