The Academic Council of the Sultans Trail Foundation studies the many cultures and rich history along the Sultans Trail. To this end, the Council brings together scientists with a similar interest. Our Academic Collaboration page will show you the list of people and institutes we work with.
Members of the Council regularly come across academic research papers, with subjects related to our route, which are of interest to a wider audience. These papers and their authors can be found in the Academic Library of the Foundation.
Articles containing background information and other stories can be found on our In-Depth page. Read them, to get in the mood for your trip on the Sultans Trail!
The Academic Council is responsible for supervising the students who are doing an internship at the Sultans Trail Foundation. For more information see: Internship
