Cultural and Practical Orientations (Online and In-Person)
Bringing a group to Mongolia? Let ACMS host your orientation! ACMS will work with you to develop a custom orientation tailored to the needs of your group. Topics can include practical matters such as shopping, transportation, and safety, social and cultural norms and considerations, and “Survival Mongolian” lessons where participants learn basic greetings, questions, and introductions to facilitate their successful communication in Mongolia.
Survival Mongolian Classes
If you’re coming to Mongolia and are looking for a crash course in basic Mongolian phrases such as greetings, introductions, directions, and more, consider booking a Survival Mongolian class or two with ACMS. Classes can be tailored to your availability, specific needs, and familiarity with the language, and are offered for either groups or individuals.
Thematic Workshops
ACMS can organize custom workshops for your group that focus on specific topics such as business in Mongolia, manuscript conservation, Buddhism, Mongolian archaeology, and much more.
Logistical Facilitation and Coordination
If you’re planning to do research in Mongolia or bring a group to the country, contact us about our logistical facilitation and coordination services. From hiring guides and drivers for individuals to planning and coordinating itineraries, activities, travel, and accommodations for groups, we can make your time in Mongolia hassle-free with our reliable network of partners.
Arranging Lectures, Guest Speakers, and Other Activities
Whether you’re interested in being a guest speaker yourself or bringing a Mongolian Studies specialist to your campus or Zoom room, we are happy to connect you to our vast network of scholars, students, and other partners.

Immigration Registration
While we cannot sponsor research or student visas to Mongolia, we are happy to help register all foreign visitors in the country for research or other educational purposes with immigration free of charge. Contact Baigalmaa for more information at Baigalmaa@mongoliacenter.org
Student and Faculty Resource Center
The ACMS is a public resource center which offers computers with internet access, a reading room with study areas, and a library collection with over 5,000 volumes. Institutions sending groups of students or faculty to Mongolia should inform their groups of the services and resources available at the center. Students and faculty from ACMS institutional members are not automatically ACMS members, but institutional members may arrange memberships for program participants as an alternative to participants joining on an individual basis. Individual and student members receive several additional benefits and rights, and they are an important aspect of strengthening Inner Asian Area Studies. Although membership is encouraged, it is not required to utilize the center.
In addition, the ACMS can assist institutions by conducting orientation sessions, developing program content, applying for permits and clearances, supervising groups, arranging lectures, and managing budget expenses. The ACMS also offers language programs for groups taught by certified local instructors.
Sharing Information
The ACMS encourages institutions and scholars with academic and research programs active in the Inner Asian region or related to the Mongolic peoples of the world to share information about their activities and events. The ACMS can advertise programs and activities in a variety of ways, including dedicated pages on the ACMS website and announcements in This Month in Mongolian Studies. To develop dedicated pages on the ACMS website, post an announcement on the ACMS website, or make an announcement in This Month in Mongolian Studies, please contact info@mongoliacenter.org.
