We are pleased to announce the 5th biannual conference of the European Association for Asian Art and Archaeology (EAAA). It will be organized by the Department of Art History at the University of Vienna and held from 29th August to 2nd September 2027.
The 5th EAAA Conference aims to:

Scholars from Europe and beyond are invited to submit proposals dealing with the art, archaeology, museum studies, methodology, critical theory or performing arts of any region of Asia from the Asian Pacific to the eastern Mediterranean as well as transregional research.
We encourage advanced doctoral candidates and early career researchers to submit proposals.
