In September, the 7th International Conference for Syriac Christianity in China and Central Asia was hosted by the International Institute for Central Asian Studies in Samarkand, Uzbekistan.
The conference was well attended, with fascinating presentations and discussions. This highlights the significant development of the field of Syriac Studies - termed Nestorian in Russian and Chinese academic circles.
The Department of Nestorian Studies continues as a project under the International Institute for Central Asian Studies (IICAS) in partnership with the University of Salzburg Zentrum zur Erforschung des Christlichen Ostens (ZECO).
The Department of Nestorian Studies welcomes collaborations and partnerships and exists to create infrastructure to facilitate research and development in Syriac Studies in Central Asia. Please contact us if you have any questions or would like to get involved.
