ISJS is now accepting applications for the three-week International Summer School for Jain Studies (ISSJS.2026-3W), a fully residential program to be held in Pune from June 18 to July 8, 2026.

Who Can Apply
Applications are open to a wide range of scholars, including undergraduate students in their third and fourth years, graduate and doctoral candidates, post-doctoral researchers, and full-time teaching-cum-research faculty.

• Interactive dialogues with Jain practitioners
• Earn 3 academic credit units upon successful completion

Application deadline: April 10, 2026
