38th Interdisciplinary Viking Symposium

 

1 October 2021, The National Museum in Copenhagen, Ny Vestergade 10

Social, cultural and economic impact of textiles and textile production in the Viking Age

REGISTRATION AND PRACTICAL INFORMATION The COVID-19 pandemic restrictions have by now been fully lifted, but precautions regarding vaccination and valid Corona-Pass are still recommended. The Cinema in the National Museum holds a maximum of c. 150 persons. We therefore wish all to register and receive a written confirmation from the organisers no later than September 23rd, please contact Michael Lerche Nielsen: lerche@hum.ku.dk. We plan to broadcast the Symposium via Zoom, and therefore English is the conference language. Please note that those who wish to participate on-line must register too. The organizing committee has no funding, so lunch and beverages during the symposium will be at your own cost. Since the practical setup concerning lunch is still uncertain, more information will follow in a later announcement. The National Museum has generously granted all participants free access to the exhibitions.
