Col_imc07_g

Du 09 au 12 juillet 2007 s’est tenu à Leeds (Angleterre – Yorkshire) leCongrès International sur l’Europe Médiévale. Ce congrès, dont la première édition eut lieu en 1994, est le plus important d’Europe et a regroupé cette année encore plus de 1400 médiévistes venant du monde entier. Les prochaines dates sont déjà connues. Vous pouvez donc dors et déjà réserver une place dans votre emploi du temps pour vous rendre à Leeds du 07 au 10 juillet 2008.

La liste des interventions, que vous retrouverez sur le site de l’Université d’Études Médiévales de Leeds , qui organise cet événement, est impressionnante. Notons que si l’essentiel des travaux présentés porte sur l’Europe médiévale, et ce, en accord avec les prétentions affichées, plusieurs sujets traités ont tout de même abordé les rivages orientaux de la mer Méditerranée.
