Abstract

From 11 to 13 September 2018, an international conference on “Mobility and Immobility in Mongolian Societies” was held at the Institute for the Science of Religion and Central Asian Studies at the University of Bern, Switzerland, bringing together scholars from numerous countries. The conference marked the conclusion of the same-named research cluster which consisted of scholars from the Rheinische Friedrich Wilhelms University of Bonn and the Georg August University of Göttingen, Germany, the Swiss University of Bern, and the National University in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. Since November 2015, the cluster had been generously funded by the National Council for Mongolian Studies with a grant from the Mongolian Ministry of Education, Culture, and Science (see the website of the cluster: https://www.mongolistik-mobilitaet.uni-bonn.de).
