From 24 to 28 July 2023, the Institute of Musicology at Munich University, the Bavarian State Library, and the Bavarian Academy of Sciences and Humanities will host the next Medieval and Renaissance Music Conference.

We invite proposals relating to the entire field of medieval and Renaissance music in all its breadth and from all scholarly aspects. Further to this, the committee especially encourages proposals relating to the following topics:
