Eur-Asian Border Lab Summer School 2025: (Deadline 5 January, 2025)

Applications are open for the Eur-Asian Border Lab Summer School 2025. The Eur-Asian Border Lab, together with the American University of Central Asia (AUCA) invites applications for a week-long programme of workshops, field trips, and lectures to be held in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan between 2-6 June, 2025. The Border Lab Summer School will involve experts who have worked on borders in Central Asia and beyond to discuss some of the most recent research and methodologies in border studies.

It will also help ECRs develop their research-in-progress and to encourage networking between the present and next generation of border scholars. The main idea is to create synergies and share theoretical and methodological insights between researchers who focus on different regions and fields in border studies.

Costs related to round-trip economy flights or train travel will be reimbursed (note: the maximum limit is 500 EUR).
Accommodation including breakfast for 6 nights and summer school lunches will be provided.
Any extra costs will not be covered. Participants are expected to check their own visa requirements to enter Kyrgyzstan and apply for visas well ahead of time, as well as organize their own travel/medical insurance (the travel costs will not be reimbursed in case of cancellation).

Eligibility

Open to PhDs, Postdocs, or other early-stage scholars in the humanities and social sciences working on border-related topics. MA students and advanced undergraduates may also be considered on a case-by-case basis.
