In 2017 Alberto Cantera, Desmond Durkin-Meisterernst, Thomas Jügel, Götz König, Kianoosh Rezania, Shaul Shaked, and Arash Zeini met in Bochum to discuss approaches to Middle Persian literature, manuscript tradition and issues related to the creation of a digital corpus and dictionary.

We continue our exchange in a second round of discussions in Berlin. The participants of this workshop are K. Rezania assisted by Th. Jügel and G. König (Bochum); Sh. Shaked (Jerusalem); A. Cantera, D. Durkin-Meisterernst, A. Zeini (Berlin), and C. Cereti and M. Vassalli (Rome) as potential external partners. With the exception of the lectures in the morning of 8 March, the workshop itself is not open to the public.
