News about Sanskrit Studies in North American Universities

[Arlo Griffiths]

Regarding Universities in the Netherlands:

The name of the dept. in Leiden is best given as: Kern Institute /  
Dept. of Indian and Tibetan Studies. The link ought to be to   
<www.kerninstitute.leidenuniv.nl>.

Summer Sanskrit courses are also offered in Leiden: <http:// 
www.letteren.leidenuniv.nl/summerschools/index.php3?m=&c=17>.

The institute in Groningen is called Institute for The Institute of

University, nor does it deal in Sanskrit learning.

come to mind are Croatia, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, ...
