Dear all,

From October 13th to 17th, 2014, the Department of Indian languages and cultures at Ghent University is organizing an Doctoral School on Indian Manuscriptology. This Doctoral School is intended for doctoral researchers (or advanced MA students) who, in the course of their research, are confronted with manuscripts, but have had no specialized training in how to properly deal with them, and who would like to further explore the possibilities of working with manuscripts. The course will include workshops in which participants discuss the particular manuscript they may be working with. A class schedule will be posted on this website in due course: http://www.india.ugent.be/node/351.

Please forward this information to any doctoral students who may be interested in attending. Interested participants should contact Noor.vanBrussel@gmail.com.

More information is listed below,

With best regards,

Eva
