The Department of Indian Philology at the University of Wroclaw and the students of Wratislavian Indology are pleased to invite you to take part in the 12th Middle European Student Indology Conference (MESIC 12). This year, due to the restrictions relating to pandemic, the Conference will be held on-line on Zoom, from 27th to 29th May 2021.
The Middle European Student Indology Conference (MESIC) was initiated in 2009 by students from the University of Zagreb, the Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań and the University of Wrocław. This year, will be the fourth time that MESIC will be organized by students of Wratislavian Indology for students of other Indology Departments (together with doctoral students) and those fascinated by Indian culture.
