Silk Roads Papers. Silk Roads Youth Research Grant, 3rd Edition

This third edition of the Silk Roads Papers builds on the work of young scholars, continuing to explore the exchanges and interactions that shaped the Silk Roads and their lasting influence. Selected from a highly competitive pool of applications, the research in this volume offers fresh perspectives on these historic networks, revealing new dimensions of their impact. As part of an ongoing partnership between UNESCO and the National Commission of the People’s Republic of China for UNESCO, the Silk Roads Youth Research Grant has continued to empower young scholars to engage with this shared heritage since its launch in 2021. This edition goes further than its predecessors, tackling subjects not previously explored in the series. Introducing new themes and expanding the scope of Silk Roads research, it reinforces the importance of youth-led inquiry in reinterpreting history and ensuring its relevance for the future.
