A webinar to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the UNESCO Silk Roads Programme and launch the Digital Archive of the Silk Roads Project will take place on 20 July 2020. This webinar, organized by the China National Silk Museum, will bring together renowned international and national experts who have participated in and studied the Silk Roads Programme in order to share their knowledge and expertise. 

The webinar will include the launch ceremony of the Digital Archive of the Silk Roads Project which the International Institute for Intercultural Dialogue on the Silk Roads plans to establish. 

This project, on which participants are invited to provide professional advice and guidance, will establish a digital archive for the series of expeditions organized within the framework of the UNESCO initiative "Integral Study of the Silk Roads, Roads of Dialogue" carried out between 1988 and 1997. As part of the framework of this project five major expeditions were undertaken between 1990 and 1995, including; Desert Routes from Xian to Kashghar, China; the Maritime Routes between Venice, Italy and Osaka, Japan; the Steppe Routes in Central Asia; the Nomad Routes in Mongolia; and the Buddhist Routes in Nepal.
