1st cycle teaching range:
IEM is again running this year, in both semesters, and with a limit of 3 students per semester, the “Atelier de Iniciação à Investigação (I e II)” (Initiation to Research Workshop (I and II)) as optional CUs. These workshops aim to integrate undergraduate students into projects taking place at the IEM, thus enabling their active insertion into the world of research work.

2nd cycle teaching range:
This year, we are also providing the two “Ateliers de Investigação (I e II)” (Research Workshop (I and II)) for 2nd cycle students (in both semesters), in which selected Master’s Degree students will be able to actively work as researchers on the History, History of Art, Literature and Archaeology projects based at the IEM.

3rd cycle teaching range:
Similar to last year, IEM is again running a 3rd cycle Seminar for PhD students in the fields of History and Archaeology. Taught by Paulo Lopes and Maria João Branco, the research seminar “Viagem, circulação e mobilidade na Idade Média: fontes, práticas, representações e imaginário” (Travel, circulation and mobility in the Middle Ages: sources, practices, representations and imaginary) aims to fill gaps and address the critical study of travel, circulation and mobility in the medieval period. This is a highly pertinent topic, given the multifaceted phenomenon of migration that is taking place today, particularly in the Mediterranean basin and on the southern border of the United States.  Throughout the proposed sessions, doctoral students should acquire the notion that, contrary to the long predominant idea, the medieval world was not any closed world but one that was incessantly traversed, both internally and in relation to places outside of Latin Christianity. In other words, the student should internalise the notion that, whether alone or in groups, travellers as diverse as the pilgrims, knights, ecclesiastics, explorers or the many merchants in the cities emerging in Europe throughout the 13th, 14th and 15th centuries, crossing paths and completing itineraries, exchanging experiences, techniques, knowledge and ideas which, as a whole, contributed to the progressive affirmation of a singular civilisation.
