Najera – 11th International Meetings of the Middle Ages
28-29 July, 2014
“Diplomacy, trade and navigation between medieval cities of Atlantic Europe”

This Academic Meetings seek to provide an interdisciplinary forum for the discussion of all aspects of medieval studies. Each Congress has one particular special thematic strand on an area of interdisciplinary study in a wider context.

Next summer the town council of Nájera will once again host the International Meetings of the Middle Ages, organised by the Medieval Research Group on Atlantic Cities of the University of Cantabria (http://atlanticports.unican.es/) and supported by the Autonomous Government of La Rioja.

The international conference will take place in Nájera (Spain), from July 28-29.

The topic of this year is about Diplomacy, trade and navigation between medieval cities of Atlantic Europe.

We will focus on :
Diplomacy between cities
Cities and commercial Exchange
Commercial networks and organisation
Navigation in later Middle Ages
Connectivity across Atlantic Europe
Cultural Exchange

This fascinating conference may be a good springboard to facilitate this goal.
