On Saturday 4 September 2021 the international Sudan Studies one day Research Conference will be a hybrid event held at the National Museum of Warsaw in collaboration with the University of Warsaw and online. Our aim is to bring together researchers in order to explore new innovative approaches to research in Sudan and South Sudan: to encourage connections across disciplines. The event has been organised through a collaboration of staff and postgraduate students from Durham University (UK) and the University of Warsaw, with additional support from the Ministry of Science and Higher Education (Poland), the National Museum of Warsaw, Morressier and Good Cell.
