International Medieval Congress

Each July over 1600 medievalists, ranging from senior scholars to postgraduate students, meet at the International Medieval Congress in Leeds in the North of England. The IMC is organised and administered by the Institute for Medieval Studies at the University of Leeds. It takes place at two adjacent conference sites which provide the conference rooms, accommodation, and dining facilities for all participants. The sites are used exclusively by IMC participants, making it an ideal opportunity to network and meet other scholars. Alongside the academic programme there are a wide variety of events and excursions related to medieval fields of study, as well as a world-class bookfair with more than 70 stands.

Each year's Congress has one special thematic strand that focuses on an area of interdisciplinary study in a wider context. The 2011 thematic strand is: Poor...Rich.
