The Young Coastal Scientists and Engineers Conference in Newcastle (3-4 Apr 2025)

The purpose of this workshop is to bring together graduate/early career researchers from the UK and mainland Europe to share their knowledge and expertise on the (Greater) Central Asia region, which includes the Former-Soviet Central Asian nations and Chinese Central Asia (known variously as the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, East Turkestan, or the Uyghur Region). The workshop will provide an opportunity to present new research findings, stimulate discussion, and debate current hot topics across Central Asian geographical, social and cultural space irrespective of contemporary political boundaries.
Participants will have the chance to present their ongoing research projects and receive feedback from peers and more experienced researchers in the field.
