In the winter semester 2025/26, we will launch CARL – the Central Asia Research Lab, which will take place every two weeks on Tuesdays from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. in room 507. Here we present the schedule with an overview of the first eight individual events for the winter semester 2025/26.

In the first edition of CARL, Prof. Dr. Diana Lange will present her current research on October 28, 2025, on the topic:

"Mapping the Land of Snows: Creating a Book Concept for a Publication at the Interface of Area Studies and Mapping History."

We hope this format will encourage and facilitate a lively exchange about research at the Central Asian Seminar and provide a framework for constructive feedback.

All interested parties are warmly welcome.

After an initial launch in the summer semester of 2025, we are now pleased to host the Histories and Cultures of Central Asia (HCCA) Lecture Series throughout the winter semester of 2025/26.

The lectures will be delivered by international scholars and are open to the public both in person and via Zoom.

Here you will find an overview of upcoming lectures with a regional focus on Inner Asia, particularly Mongolia and Tibet/Himalaya.

All interested parties are warmly welcome.
