This research colloquium offers students and researchers at the University of Regensburg an opportunity to meet fellow historians  and discuss cutting-edge research at the intersection of history and area studies. Each semester, international scholars at varying stages of their career are invited to present their works in progress at the colloquium. Following a presentation from the week’s guest, professors and students have the opportunity to pose questions to that week’s presenter. The research colloquium is open to students, researchers, and the larger public.

In the 2022-2023 winter semester, the colloquium takes place beginning at 4:15 PM Central European Time (CET).

While student participants in the colloquium will gather in person at the University of Regensburg, many of our guests will be presenting their work to us via Zoom. As such, it is possible for members of the wider public (whether in Regensburg or elsewhere) to join sessions via Zoom themselves. If you are interested in attending sessions for the winter semester, we ask you to register via the link below:
