Sri Lanka Working Group
The Sri Lanka Working Group was founded in summer 2014. It provides both staff members and students of the SAI a forum for the interdisciplinary exchange of ideas about Sri Lanka. The current developments in Sri Lanka and also in the Sri Lanka research will be discussed. Frequent events - mostly during the lecture period - are intended. The Working Group supports the the SAI efforts for a deepened academic exchange with Sri Lanka, which could be confirmed by the re-opening of the SAI branch office in Colombo this year. View the website of the Sri Lanka Working Group.
