We invite applications from advanced Master students, early-stage PhD candidates as well as junior researchers working on the long history of the Chinese script and the “sinographic sphere”—without confining the sphere to a specific era. Drawing inspiration from a growing literature on the Sinograph’s relationship to languages other than Chinese and technologies, this Autumn School guides you on a journey to explore the global history of universalisms surrounding the Sinograph.

For your application, please prepare:

• Letter of motivation specifying your interest for taking part in the EACS Autumn School. You are welcome to briefly describe the projects you are currently working on.

• Up-to-date CV

• EACS membership. Although not strictly required, priority will be given to members during the selection process. 

Application Deadline (extended): July 28th, 2025
