University Research Priority Program

ASIA AND EUROPE

Exchanges and Encounters

The University Research Priority Program (URPP) Asia and Europe of Zurich University explores exchanges and encounters that have taken and continue to take place between Asia and Europe in the areas of culture, law, religion and society. The URPP Asia and Europe brings together various disciplines and faculties of the University of Zurich to create an expert and comprehensive interdisciplinary research structure. It promotes research by young graduate and post-graduate scholars within a structured and interdisciplinary research environment. In 2005 the University of Zurich has made the strategic decision to create the University Research Priority Program (URPP) Asia and Europe. Thanks to a start-up financing of the GEBERT RÜF STIFTUNG the URPP could already take up research on 1 January 2006.
