Bergen Medieval Forum, Autumn 2019
The Autumn lecture series has begun!
Main content
The Bergen Medieval Research Cluster organises a set of lectures every semester.
The purpose of Medieval forum is to create an informal and interesting interdisciplinary meeting place for the different research milieus which work with Medieval studies in Bergen - to discuss, to share ideas, and to explore new interests together.
The short Morning coffee lectures are relatively short lectures at the Library Special Collections in Bergen which are met with a prepared comment. The Forum meeting are longer lectures, in a more informal setting in the pub Underlig in Valkendorfs gt. 1B, downtown.
