The representative conference of German Oriental Studies which is held in intervals of three to five years.
The Deutsche Orientalistentage are open to all German and foreign scholars; participation is not dependent on membership in the DMG. The Deutsche Orientalistentage therefore have a broader significance beyond the German-speaking area.
The work of the Orientalistentage consists of a limited number of interdisciplinary working groups and keynote lectures addressing a general framework; specialised subjects are treated and discussed in panels devoted to them.
A number of subgroups within the DMG hold their own meetings in or outside of the framework of the Deutsche Orientalistentage.
