Applications are invited for the second International Postgraduate Workshop on Medieval Religious Architecture, made possible with the generous support of the Elisabeth und Helmut Uhl Stiftung.

This call for applications addresses postgraduate students as well as recent post-docs of multiple disciplines, whose work focuses on the period between the 9th and 14th century. For them, the workshop strives to be a platform for the discussion of their research projects related to architecture, mobile and immobile furnishing, as well as questions of use. We encourage architectural and art historians as well as theologians, historians, archeologists or building researchers to apply.

Here, young scholars will receive the chance for a free, institutionally independent discourse. This discourse, toggling aspects of each participant´s current research, can evolve in a frame of multidisciplinary objectives and cognitive interests. The detailed discussion of questions relating to the content of the research projects will be complimented by personal encounter and conversation matter of organization and future career possibilities. The appropriate space is created by the Buchnerhof, erected 2013 as remarkable creation of contemporary architecture high above the Etsch-valley in the mountains of Southern Tyrol.

The workshop will take place between the 28.09. and the 03.10.2016, there will be 12 participants. Applications of doctoral candidates as well as post-docs, in German or English, are possible and welcome.
