Established at Louvain-la-Neuve in 1991 by the Fédération Internationale des Instituts d’Études Médiévales (FIDEM), the European Diploma in Medieval Studies (DEEM) provides advanced academic training for students and scholars specialising in Medieval Studies. The programme is renowned for its methodological and practical approach to disciplines central to the study and interpretation of Latin manuscripts and archival sources. This specialised training is delivered through the expertise of leading scholars in each discipline and in collaboration with key institutions, such as Sapienza University of Rome, The Norwegian Institute in Rome and SIEPM (Société Internationale pour l’Étude de la Philosophie Médiévale). Since the 2024 academic year, the DEEM program has been offered in an updated format, running from mid-January to the end of May. The core disciplines of Classical Latin, Medieval Latin, Palaeography, Codicology, Diplomatics, and Textual Editing have been complemented by two new modules in Digital Scholarly Editing.
All classes will be conducted in English beginning on Monday, 19 January 2026. All courses will take place in Rome at the Norwegian Institute (https://www.hf.uio.no/dnir/english/) with options for partial online attendance. The mandatory in-person participation offers a unique opportunity to explore Rome’s remarkable manuscript collections through included library visits.
A minimum of six participants is required for the course to take place. Participants may choose from full DEEM participation, modular participation, or personalized attendance. For enrolment fees and available participation options, please visit: https://fidemweb.org/deem- application/.
