The Institute for Medieval Studies (IEM – NOVA FCSH) and the Municipality of Castelo de Vide are organizing a Autumn School for twenty Master’s and PhD students in medieval studies, that will take place during the 6h and the 7th of October in Castelo de Vide.

The goal of this initiative is to create a place for open debate and experience sharing in which the students can increase their knowledge and skillset, benefitting from the presence of renowned specialists from respected European universities, and promoting an interdisciplinary approach to the selected topic.

The Autumn School is structured by theoretical session followed by debates, research workshops with a hands-on approach and a study-visit to Castelo de Vide’s Historical Centre.
