Following the first international doctoral and postdoctoral school on ‘The Dynamic Middle Ages’ in Moscow in 2012, the Centre for Medieval Studies and the Department of History of the National Research University Higher School of Economics (Moscow) will organize a second international PhD and post-doctoral training school on the same topic in Moscow from 7th to 10th  October 2014.

The second international doctoral and postdoctoral school on The Dynamic Middle Ages is a three-year programme with European partner institutions. It will be conducted in three phases, with each spaced a year apart at three different locations, as follows:

1) In October 2014 at the Higher School of Economics (Moscow, Russia) with a focus on “The Dynamics of European Cultures and Societies in the Middle Ages”;

2) In the summer or autumn 2015 at University of Sheffield (Sheffield, UK) with a focus on “The Making of the Middle Ages”;
