The Institute of Medieval Studies (IEM-NOVA FCSH), in partnership with the Centre of Religious History Studies (UCP-CEHR), promotes the International Seminar on Medieval Religious History, which thus resumes, with a new format and scope, the tradition of the previous cycles of the Medieval Religious History Seminar, interrupted in 2013.

In the year 2021/2022, and in coordination with the PEREGRINATIO Research Network for the Study of Pilgrimage in the Middle Ages in Portugal, the Seminar will adopt “Shrines, Relics and Pilgrimages” as its general theme. The sessions take place by Zoom and are open to all interested parties.

The Conference on 5 May, entitled “Espaços sagrados e vivências religiosas no interior do Brasil” (Sacred spaces and religious experiences in the interior of Brazil), will be held by Prof. Renata Cristina Nascimento (NEMED/UFG/PUC-Go).
