Details of the program
The Winter School in Buddhist
Textual Scholarship is an intensive teaching program organized jointly by
academics of the École française d’Extrême-Orient (EFEO), the
Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München (LMU) and the École Pratique des Hautes
Études (EPHE–PSL, Paris). 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 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).
The third edition of the Winter
School will be held from March 2 to 9, 2026 at the EFEO center in Chiang Mai (Thailand). Tuition, lodging and lunch are free of charge.
Students
interested in participating in the 3rd Winter School are invited to
consult the details of the program from 24 November and to complete the online application form.
The deadline for applications is 5 December 2025 (11:59
PM, Paris time).
Admissions will be announced on 16
December 2025.
