Ad Brudgias Portum

 
Bruges' medieval port system as a maritime cultural landscape
 
In October 2018, Ghent University and Raakvlak organise an international conference that centres around medieval harbour hubs as gateways for goods, people and thoughts. Bruges’ maritime cultural landscape will be the guideline for these three days of medieval maritime connectivity.

Scope of the conference

 
With this international symposium the organisers wish to present recent research on the medieval harbour landscape of Bruges to a wider scientific audience, but foremost they aim to frame the Bruges’ project into a wider, international maritime context of interdisciplinary research on maritime cultural port-landscapes.

The conference will be held between Tuesday the 23rd of October in the morning, and Thursday the 25th around midday. Attention, the date slightly changed since the previous mailing, so please correct your agendas.
