We are delighted to announce the winners of the inaugural Regensburg Prize for Outstanding Master’s Theses in Area Studies at Universität Regensburg, which is awarded in collaboration with CITAS Regensburg - Center for International and Transnational Area Studies.

Mit einem Vortrag über jiddische Literatur startet das gemeinsam mit der Graduiertenschule für Ost- und Südosteuropastudien organisierte Forschungskolloquium in das Wintersemester.

The lecture series "Special Relations Revisited: Europa und die USA seit dem 19. Jahrhundert" starts on Monday, November 2, with a lecture on "Demokratiegeschichte als nationale Erzählung und transnationaler Prozess. Frankreich, die USA und Deutschland im 19. Jahrhundert" by Hedwig Richter.

On Thursday 22 October, from 14:00-16:00, the Leibniz-ScienceCampus "Europa and America" in Regensburg, the Herder Institute Research Academy in Marburg, and the Leibniz Institute for the History and Culture of Eastern Europe (GWZO) are holding an online discussion on "The Range and Limits of Travelling Concepts in Area Studies". You are warmly invited to join the event via Zoom: https://uni-regensburg.zoom.us/j/82404482367.

Today the ScienceCampus is launching a new project: “Frictions” is a blogjournal – a hybrid format of blog and e-journal – discussing Europe and the Americas in the context of global transformations. The first contributions will go live in November.
