The Colloquium in Byzantine and Medieval Studies runs each semester under the aegis of the Interdepartmental Postgraduate Programme in Byzantine Studies and the Latin East, organised jointly by the Department of Byzantine and Modern Greek Studies and the Department of History and Archaeology at the University of Cyprus. It serves as a podium for members of the University of Cyprus academic staff, scholars and researchers in other institutions as well as the programme’s postgraduate students to give talks on subjects directly or indirectly concerned with Byzantine culture and the medieval world. All lectures are open to the public and are delivered on Wednesdays, at 7.30 pm, and last approx. 90 minutes, including the discussion.
