Scholars and students from any field of research related to the South Asian region are invited to participate in the 21. European Conference on Modern South Asian Studies (ECMSAS) in Bonn (Germany).

For many years, the ECMSAS has been an important platform and indicator of contemporary trends in South Asian studies worldwide.

Anyone interested to present her or his research to an academic public should contact one of the panel conveners as soon as possible. We are planning to put the complete list of presentations and abstracts on the net towards the end of the year. Please check the list of panels on www.ecmsas.org to find out, where your specialization might fit into. Young researchers are particularly invited to join the conference and present their findings to the academic public. Panels are completely independent, and organizers and the steering committee members don’t intervene on this level.

Bonn, formerly seat of Germany’s government, is a small town on the banks of the river Rhine, easily accessible through rail, car and airplane. Hosting agency of the 21. ECMSAS is the Institute for Asian and Oriental Studies, University of Bonn. The university’s chair of indology, the first of its kind in Germany, was established in the year of the foundation of the university, in 1818.
