The conference will also contain the success stories of NetMAR’s early-stage researchers, presentations of the project’s results and impacts, and a round table on European cultural heritage featuring two keynote speakers – Bettina Wagner and Patricia Alberth – who are world specialists in the management and preservation of tangible and intangible cultural heritage. The event will close with a reception, facilitating networking between the participants and attendants of the event.

NetMAR is an international interdisciplinary network dedicated to the study of medieval arts and rituals that has received funding from the European Union Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Programme (grant agreement no. 951875) for three years (2021-2023). The project has brought together scholars, researchers, and students from different countries, institutions, and disciplines and has reached out to various stakeholders. NetMAR is made up of three major partners – the University of Cyprus (UCY) and its newly-created Centre for Medieval Arts & Rituals (CeMAR); the Centre for Medieval Literature (CML) at the University of Southern Denmark (SDU); and the Centre for Medieval Studies (ZeMas) at the University of Bamberg (UNI BA) – and is funded by the European Union.
