2nd International Conference „Research on the Church of the East in China and Central Asia: Jing-Jiao in China and Central Asia“
in Salzburg
Leitung: Peter Hofrichter und Roman Malek
As has been agreed upon in the first Salzburg conference „Research on Nestorianism in China“ (22?26 May 2003) and already announced, we plan to organize the second Salzburg conference from 1?6 June 2006. The aim of this follow-up conference, which we call now „Research on jingjiao in China and Central Asia,“ is:
1. To provide a forum for the presentation of recent research on jingjiao in China and Central Asia for scholars in the field;
2. To encourage younger scholars to present their „works in progress“ in the field, and
3. To give the opportunity to discuss ongoing research, e.g., on certain topics or texts, in separate workshops.
No general theme shall be suggested on part of the organizers, the concrete programme will depend on the proposals of the participants. General introductions into or discussion of jingjiao are discouraged.
The languages of the symposium will be English and Chinese.
The organizers will provide board and lodging free of charge.
The Conference is organized by Prof. Peter Hofrichter, Salzburg (Austria) and Prof. Roman Malek, Sankt Augustin (Germany). It is sponsored by the Austrian Federal Ministery for Education, Science and Culture, by the Foundation PRO ORIENTE, by the Monu-menta Serica Institute in Sankt Augustin, by the University of Salzburg, and by the Bildungs-haus St. Virgil, Ernst Grein Straße 14, 5026 Salzburg, Austria, where the Conference will take place and all participants will stay.
