The Centre for Area Studies hosts numerous events, including an annual lecture and conference, workshops and a weekly colloquium during the academic semesters as well as cooperates jointly upon collaborative events. Many of these events are organized with the participating institutions and partner organizations of CAS as well as other academic institutes and associations through cooperation, funding as well as contribution in the form of panels.
Demonstrating the large network CAS has already developed, the Centre has also supported and promoted a multitude of local, regional and international events, of note being the 2011 Third European Congress on World and Global History in London co-organized with the European Network in Universal and Global History (ENIUGH) as well as the Fourth European Conference on African Studies (ECAS) to be held in Lisbon 2013.
Once a year, the Centre holds its annual lecture presented by invited international scholars for the wider public, which acts as a special highlight of the CAS research programme on "Cultural Encounters and Political Orders in a Global Age".
Every year, usually in October, CAS brings scholars from nearly all disciplines belonging to its research programme together to consider and debate its own findings with the knowledge of and questions posed by colleagues from abroad.
The Centre holds a weekly public colloquium throughout the winter and summer semesters where invited lecturers discuss both historical and contemporary issues relating to regional and global topics, presenting multiple perspectives and analyses of existing, fading and emerging regions and areas.
Workshops, Seminars & Lectures
Through the research programmes based at CAS, specialists are brought together for workshops and conferences aiming both at a collective formulation of new research hypotheses as well as at the presentation of results and ongoing investigations.
