[KS] Korea Study Days in Vienna

[Ruediger Frank]

Dear colleagues,

the East Asian Institute at the University of Vienna is rapidly expanding 
its Korean Studies programme. In connection with this, we have decided to 
revitalize a tradition that has almost been lost after the closure of the 
Korea Institute at Humboldt University.

In November 2005, we plan to hold one or two Korea Study Days 
(Koreawissenschaftliche Tage) in Vienna, and hope to continue to do so 
every year. The Korea Study Days are primarily designed to bring together 
Korea specialists from German speaking countries for a workshop-style 
conference, to present work in progress or new results, and to encourage 
networking and academic exchange. In the past, we had a number of 
distinguished guests from other countries, too, and would like to encourage 
everybody who is interested to come and join us. The working language will 
be German.

So far, we have no funding or logistical assistance available to support 
participation, although this might change in the future. However, Vienna is 
a beautful city and has only recently been classified as one of the places 
with the highest quality of living worldwide. This alone should be enough 
reason to come, and there is much more.

I would therefore like to ask all interested colleagues, in particular 
those from German speaking countries, to contact me at: rfrank at koreanstudies.de

Best wishes,

Ruediger
