Since 1994 the IRC for Late Antiquity and Middle Ages organizes international conferences for scholars and experts of various profiles from all over the world: archaeologists, art historians, historians, architects, museologists, conservators, antique law experts, liturgists, philosophers, historians of literature, anthropologists, sociologists, etc. The topics for the annual conferences are selected in a manner that allows a wide range of possible approaches from different areas of study and they always include some of the issues that occupy contemporary scholars of medieval period in Europe.
The conferences usually take place in a small Istrian town of Motovun, in a friendly atmosphere, and as their most valuable asset we would like to mention very interesting and fruitful discussions which often lead to initiatives to start joint scholarly and research projects. A great number of students always participate at the symposiums and this gives them a unique opportunity to establish first contacts with researchers from all over the world and in this way get insight into approaches and methods of scholarly research.
