This workshop,  co-organised by José Ignacio Sánchez, Nicola Carpentieri with the Arab-German Young Academy (AGYA): Nuha Al-Shaar, Corinna Assmann, Linda Ammann, and Hany Rashwan, explores multilingualism and translation across the premodern Mediterranean, the Arabo-Islamic world and Europe as dynamic processes of negotiation, transformation and intellectual co-production. Focusing on scholars, translators and cultural intermediaries working across languages such as Arabic, Latin, Greek, Hebrew and Persian, it asks how knowledge was shaped and reshaped as it moved between languages, institutions and intellectual traditions.

Travel and accommodation costs will be covered by the Arab-German Young Academy of Sciences and Humanities (AGYA), subject to funding approval. There is also a commitment to publish selected papers in the workshop proceedings. Please find the full CFP attached. 

 The DEADLINE for submitting proposals is 31 August 2026.
