Dear Colleagues,

I am writing to share an opportunity for an upcoming hands-on workshop, "Premodern Knowledge Systems from Primary Sources," taking place in September 2026 at the Department of Cross-Cultural and Regional Studies, University of Copenhagen.

This training week offers a rare opportunity for researchers to work directly with the Kenneth G. Zysk Indological Manuscript Collection. Given the technical and intensive nature of the archival work, participation is strictly limited to six (6) participants.

We would be very grateful if you could circulate this call among your networks. We kindly ask that interested candidates read the requirements on the event page carefully before applying; proficiency in reading primary sources is essential for participation.
