Medieval European History
Leiden’s Institute for History has an exceptionally strong expertise in Medieval European History, with specialists whose interests cover virtually the whole continent.
We have a strong track record in leading larger research teams and work together with colleagues across Europe and beyond. We study sources in a wide range of languages, and contribute to the development and curating of new digital data collections and open science initiatives.
