Seminar
on the future of research training in medieval
history in Scandinavia
at the Danish Institute in Rome, 16. January 14-18
A recent report ("Godt
begyndt") from the Ministery of Research in Denmark
has suggested that research milieus within the Humanities
are to small to continue to offer doctoral training. One
solution to this has been the suggestion to concentrate
Ph.D. training at only one university. Another might be
to establish research schools and networks on both a
national and a common Scandinavian level. It is the aim
of this seminar to investigate further the latter
possibility.
