Comparative Indo-European Linguistics (CIEL) Seminars

The Comparative Indo-European Linguistics Seminars are held approximately once every month at the Leiden University Centre for Linguistics.

True to their name, the seminars focus on Indo-European linguistic matters, and offer scholars from Leiden and abroad a platform to discuss their research and exchange ideas in a collaborative and informal atmosphere.

All those interested in Indo-European linguistics, staff, visiting scholars and (former) students, are cordially invited to attend seminars. If you wish to be kept up to date about future seminars, or if you would like to present yourself, please contact the organisers via email.
