Syriaca.org has been committed to curating linked data in the field of Syriac studies for over a decade. We are thrilled to see researchers using this infrastructure to do amazing work!
Website of the Leiden Center for the Study of Ancient Religions. The text reads: " Leiden Center for the Study of Ancient Religions L*CeSAR is a network that aims to foster academic exchange among researchers working on ancient religions in Leiden and beyond. The Center seeks to become a hub for interdisciplinary collaboration, bringing together scholars from Leiden University and other Dutch universities, and offering a platform for scholarly dialogue and the dissemination of knowledge." At the bottom, two clickable buttons read "Who are we?" and "What we do?". At the top, the horizontal menu reads "Home", "About us", "Activities" and "Contact Us"
Exciting news! @unileiden.bsky.social now has its very own Leiden Center for the Study of Ancient Religions (L*CeSAR), run by my wonderful colleagues Kim Beerden and RafaΕ Matuszewski. Working on ancient religion, and looking to connect? Check out the website: ancientreligions.lucdh.nl
