IX International Congress O Camiño do Medievalista
Ex labore fructus
Santiago de Compostela, 25-27 March 2026
Due 1 December 2025
Once again, we are pleased to invite you to take part in this meeting, which aims to be a place of encounter for those who are beginning their research journey into the Middle Ages, where young medievalists join once more in this fruitful tradition. With this ninth edition of the International Congress O Camiño do Medievalista, we intend to create an interdisciplinary space where diverse lines of research converge, in order to gather and sow knowledge contributed by each field of study on the medieval world.
As in previous editions, we intend to offer a meeting open to all branches of Medieval Studies that we summarize in seven non-exclusive paths, since any other topic will be welcome:
History: power, society, economy and culture.
Art and Iconography.
Philology, language and literature.
Written culture and archives.
Historiography, Innovation and Digital Humanities.
Philosophy and Thought.
Archaeology.
PhD students and PhDs who have read their thesis after January 1, 2022 may apply.
