The Study Weeks

They take place every year in Prato with a defined cadence (beginning: third Monday after Easter). Every year, about 200 scholars form all over the world participate. The themes to deal with are selected by the Sientific Committee some years in advance. The theme of the XXXVIIth Study Week, which took place from April 11th to 15th 2005, was: "Ricchezza del mare. Ricchezza dal mare. Secc. XIII-XVIII" (Richness of the sea. Richness from the sea. XIIIth-XVIIIth centuries). The next Study Week, which will take place from May 1st to 5th 2006, will discuss about "Economic relations between Europe and the Islamic world. XIIIth-XVIIIth centuries".

The works are divided into reports and communications. The first ones are dedicated to general interventions, while the last one, which are chiefly reserved to young scholars, are the first presentation of original researches in progress. A lot of space for discussion is scheduled. Participation is opened to those who are interested.

By sending to our secretary the participation form in due time, the Institute can also take care about the hotel reservation at the special prices agreed with the receptive structures. During the convention, except for the opening session, there will be the translation into Italian, English, French and German.
To encourage the participation of young scholars, the Institute places 20 study grants at their disposal.

It is possible to book the Acts which will be published on spring 2007 with a special price of euros 35 (instead euros 50). Those who will have done the reservation will receive a password which will allow them, if interested, starting from next April 1 to 31, to read and to download from our website the provisional texts of the relations and communications presented during the convention, in .pdf format. remote loading of the program 'Adobe Acrobat Reader'
