Slavic Reference Service invites you to attend the 2025 Caucasus Research Forum: Caucasus and the World via Zoom by registering at the following link: https://forms.gle/jSa7ZSMRWJDo6mq38

For centuries, the Caucasus region has been the center of rich cultural diversity and exchange.

The theme for the 2025 Caucasus Research Forum is Caucasus and the World. 

Sub-themes of the forum include: 

  • Travel Writing
  • Caucasus Region in World Literature
  • Diaspora Communities
  • Displacement and Migration
  • Archives and Special Collections

These forums are intended to provide a supportive and informal environment for researchers, information professionals, and students to discuss future, ongoing, or completed scholarly projects.  This event will take place on April 23–24, 2025 on Zoom. Participation is open to all.

Zoom details will be shared the week of the event.
