At the ‘Second International Academic Forum on Paleography and Chinese Civilization’, held at Tsinghua University in Beijing, the CSMC and the Research and Conservation Center for Unearthed Texts ratified a Memorandum of Understanding to further deepen academic exchange between the two institutions.

The CSMC and the renowned Armenian institution have been working together on the preservation and study of manuscript heritage since 2021. The partnership has now been officially extended for five years.

At the FICCO 25 conference, CSMC researcher Khaoula Trad was credited by Sheikh Mohammed bin Hamad bin Mohammed Al Sharqi, the Crown Prince of al-Fujairah, for her presentation on visual expression in the Timbuktu collection.
