Projects
The Centre runs various research projects with a tantric studies component, including interdisciplinary projects (Manuscript Cultures Research Group at Hamburg) and projects in collaboration with other universities (Edinburgh, Naples) and research institutions (École française d’Extrême-Orient) both in Europe and in Asia (Religion Institute of the China Tibetology Research Centre (CTRC), Beijing). The projects are mainly funded by the DFG and the AHRC. The cooperation with the CTRC focuses on the study of rare Sanskrit and Tibetan literature preserved in China.
