WINTER SCHOOL IN BUDDHIST TEXTUAL SCHOLARSHIP

Chiang Mai, 24 February – 1 March 2025

The Winter School in Buddhist Textual Scholarship is an intensive teaching 
program organized jointly by academics of the EPHE-PSL (Paris), the EFEO and 
the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München. It is offered to international 
postgraduate students carrying out research in the domain of Buddhist Studies, 
and will provide a solid grounding into philology, codicology, and epigraphy. 
Its focus will be on primary sources transmitted across the Buddhist world, 
with close consideration of their material dimension, their contexts of 
production, and their socio-religious functions. The course will further 
introduce students to fieldwork and will allow them to hone their broader 
methodological approach as well as the skills specific to their area of 
research. The Winter School has a transregional dimension, with lecturers 
specializing in South Asia, Southeast Asia, China and Tibet.

The Winter School is organized by Gregory Kourilsky (EFEO), Costantino Moretti 
(EFEO), Marta Sernesi (EPHE & LMU) and Vincent Tournier (LMU).

It will be held from February 24 to March 1, 2025 at the EFEO centre in Chiang 
Mai (Thailand). Tuition, lodging and lunch are free of charge.

Students interested in participating in the winter school are invited to
