ECAI Workshop:

This workshop aims at illuminating the Buddhist past by documenting the circulation of ideas,

people and goods across Asia via the so-called Maritime Silk Road(s). The ECAI Atlas of

Maritime Buddhisn Project highlights the maritime contribution to the development of a

premodern global network of trade and cultural diffusion, within which Buddhism was seamlessly integrated.

The Atlas initiative is supported by an international team of researchers utilizing new data collection technologies and advanced data mapping to integrate the latest archaeological evidence. This workshop provides the projects researchers an opportunity to present their findings and to discuss best practices in the preservation and digitalization of cultural heritage.
