We are excited to announce the 2025 Woodenfish-Waksaw Seminar on the Buddhist Heritage of Gandhāra, set to take place in Pakistan in January 2025. We warmly and mainly invite Professors, scholars and students from the related fields around the world to join us on this immersive journey into the rich history and culture of ancient Gandhāra. Over ten days, participants will explore iconic sites, engage in hands-on excavation experiences, and gain insights from lectures delivered by experts in the field from both Pakistan and the West.

Beyond the academic program, the participants will also experience the vibrant local culture through the events, such as traditional dance parties and bonfire parties. This program offers more than just a learning experience—it's an opportunity to connect with like-minded scholars globally and embark on a journey into the heart of civilization.
