The Leibniz ScienceCampus Europe and America is looking forward to an inspiring winter semester with a full programme of events, exchanges and opportunities.
We are delighted to welcome four visiting researchers from around the world to Regensburg who will be contributing actively to our programme of events and collaborating closely with our partners in Regensburg. Diana Mishkova (Sofia) and Daniela Fugellie (Santiago de Chile) are here in October, while Anna Holian joins us from Arizona in November. Irina Garbatzky is a visiting professor at UR until the end of 2025. We look forward to furthering our international exchanges through the incoming and outgoing fellowship programmes with our partner institutions. The deadline is 30 November 2025 for those who would like to come to Regensburg or head to one of our partners in 2027 or 2028.
The call for papers for our 2026 annual conference is now open. Submit your proposals by 16 November 2025 to discuss In/ter/dependence. Inspired by the 250th anniversary of US inpendence on 4 July 2026, the conference seeks to explore critically the intersections of dependence and independence in efforts to secure autonomy, sovereignty and emancipation. We welcome papers from across the disciplines looking at historical and contemporary cases.
Students who have recently completed a MA, LLM or State Exam degree are encouraged to apply for the joint LSC and DIMAS Area Studies Prize. The deadline is 31 December 2025.
Our call for contributions to our Frictions Blog|Journal has proven fruitful and we look forward to receiving more inspiring pieces.
We look forward to seeing you at our diverse programme of events throughout the autumn. From discussions about practicing transnational history or Jewish life in Germany after WWII in the research colloquium, through explorations of European music's influence in Latin America or imaginaries of Eastern Europe in Cuban literature, through to discussion of media archetypes as an expression of a transatlantic unconscious. The first event in the new speaker series ScienceCampus Early Career Research Network MMN | Margins of Memory will also take place in November. Our programme can only be so rich thanks to the collaborations across area studies institutions and partners in Regensburg and around the world.
