International Chair Gathering

Over the last two days, we hosted our annual International Chair Gathering, this year again at the University of Zurich.

Together with David Seidl, Jochen Koch (European-University Viadrina), Birgit Renzl (University of Stuttgart), and members of their chairs, we enjoyed two inspiring days of presentations, discussions, and academic exchange.

From our Chair, Robin Engelbach, and our Researchers in Residence Gianluca Miscione, Patricia Klarner, and Mia Leppälä presented their current work.

We were also very happy to welcome Dong-hyu Kim from the University of Glasgow, for his keynote.

The discussions covered a variety of topics, with plenty of room for constructive feedback and informal exchange. A guided visit to the Archaeological Collection at UZH and a joint dinner rounded off the gathering.

A big thank you to everyone who joined us and contributed to such an enjoyable exchange – and especially to Katharina Sander for organizing the gathering so wonderfully. We are already looking forward to continuing the tradition next year at Viadrina!
