Events and Activities
We run a regular programme of events and activities for all those interested in research in medieval and renaissance studies, from our regular Edinburgh Seminar in Medieval and Renaissance Studies, to international conferences and informal discussion groups. These are supplemented by the many events run by subject areas and schools at the university which often stage events of interest to medieval and renaissance scholars.
