ANNOUNCEMENTS

Call for submissions The European Bulletin of Himalayan Research (EBHR) was founded by the late Richard Burghart in 1991 and has appeared twice yearly ever since. It is edited on a rotating basis between France (CNRS), Germany (South Asia Institute) and the United Kingdom (SOAS). From 2019 to 2023, EBHR is hosted at CNRS’s Centre for Himalayan Studies in France.

From summer 2021 onwards, it becomes an online and fully open-access journal with a dedicated website. Apart from research articles, conference reports or book reviews, EBHR will be developing new features (photo essays, multimodal inquiries, revisitations, translations).
