The conference aims to explore the rich historical and cultural connections between Asia and Europe through the lens of Buddhism.
This event marks an important platform for scholars to delve into various aspects of Buddhist studies, including the history of Buddhist exchanges between Asia and Europe, the impact of Buddhist art and literature on cultural exchanges, and the development of Buddhist Studies as an academic tradition in Europe.
