Fellows

From the inception of the Sonderforschungsbereich ‘Manuscript Cultures in Asia, Africa and Europe’, the Centre for the Study of Manuscript Cultures' fellows have played an important role in its activities. They have given lectures, organised workshops and conferences and contributed to CSMC’s publications. Most of them have become an active part of its international network, supporting its work even long after their physical departure. Fellows are invited only, applications are not possible.
