Membership benefits
All members receive the journal Das Mittelalter which is published twice a year.
Every two years the Mediävistenverband organizes an academic congress in order to facilitate and promote interdisciplinary discussions. It also organizes an annual summer academy for students at the University of Düsseldorf where topics of current interest provide the basis for interdisciplinary training in core areas of Medieval Studies.
Members and corporate bodies belonging to the Mediävistenverband are offered a platform to discuss matters of university policy. Furthermore, its members can be called upon to offer their advice in questions concerning their individual fields of expertise. Visit our website for the society’s latest updates as well as information on forthcoming international congresses, professorial chairs held in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland and for a list or our members’ publications and addresses.
International contacts
Our emphasis is on maintaining regular contacts with foreign institutions and promoting international cooperation. The Mediävistenverband improves the coordination of activities among medievalists by providing contacts and exchanges with both national and international centres for Medieval Studies. Moreover, discussions of the current status of research and methodology contribute towards the understanding of the latest international and interdisciplinary developments and promote new perspectives and activitites.
