AnatoLinks is a PhD / early career two-day conference dedicated to the
study of Ancient Anatolia through the lenses of Linguistics,
Philology, History, and Archaeology, to be held at the University of

The conference aims to foster interdisciplinary dialogue and encourage
meaningful exchange between different approaches to the ancient
Anatolian world. We particularly welcome joint presentations by
researchers from different fields engaging with shared material or

innovative methodologies, comparative frameworks, or new analytical
tools.
