Every year, GIHM (Grupo Informal de História Medieval) organizes the Medieval Studies Workshop (WEM). This conference aims to gather both Portuguese and foreign Master's and PhD students whose research is focused in the field of medieval studies.
This call for papers is open to all Master's and PhD students in History, History of Art, Archeology, Philosophy, Philology or Literary Studies who intend to debate, discuss and improve their Masters/PhD projects. Students who pretend to present end results or theses which have already been finished will not be selected.

The 11th edition will take place at the Faculty of Arts of the University of Porto on 4-5 April 2019.
