Würzburg, Germany
13-15th Jun 2026
Deadline: 10th Apr 2026
This year’s annual conference of the China Work Group (China AG) will be held on June 13–15, 2026, at the University of Wuerzburg (Germany) in cooperation with the Young Scholar Group of the German Association for Asian Studies (DGA).
Founded in 1992 as a work group for young researchers, the China AG aims to further exchanges between junior scholars from Sinology, Chinese studies, and related fields of research. The annual conferences promote the presentation of ongoing or recently finished research projects and discussions of current challenges and experiences with teaching. They provide a space for networking and informal exchange on research.
We ask junior scholars (starting from the BA level up to postdocs etc.) to submit title and abstract (200–250 words) of their presentations by April 10, 2026. Contributions on all academic topics relating to China are welcome, explicitly including interdisciplinary approaches. We also accept suggestions of desired topics for discussions concerning teaching methods.
The main conference language is English, but presentations may be delivered in other commonly spoken languages. We also welcome listeners, who can register via email. The conference is an in-person event.
Please submit abstracts and topics for discussions to Raffaela Rettinger (raffaela.rettinger@uni-wuerzburg.de).
