b/ Reminder for member to join us for the Annual CARMEN Meeting in Porto, Portugal
As announced in the previous CARMEN Circular, CARMEN’s next Annual Meeting will take place in The António de Almeida Foundation in Porto, Portugal, on 13-15 September 2013. It will be kindly hosted by CEPESE – Centro de Estudios da Populacao, Economia e Sociedade. Find the meeting’s programme and practical information about accommodation and getting to the meeting on our website (for downloading, it may require the Firefox search engine). We hope to meet many of CARMEN members at the meeting and have a fruitful discussion on projects and future of the Medieval Studies.
The meeting’s overall theme is «The Impact in the Humanities». And the wonderful location close to the Portuguese seashore makes the focus on the world beyond Europe only natural.
