Workshop Discussions 2026: Academy Projects in Dialogue

Our ever-popular workshop talks, in which staff members offer insights into their current research, will celebrate their 15th anniversary in 2026. To mark the occasion, you can once again look forward to a diverse and exciting programme of presentations from our projects, ranging from musicology and digital humanities to modern inscriptions. This will be followed by another highlight in the Kalkhof-Rose Hall: an exclusive concert with pianist Jean Touna. As is tradition, the workshop talks will conclude with conversation, a barbecue and wine in the Academy Garden, hopefully in fine weather.

This event is not open to the public.
