Network for Research Development in Medieval and Early Modern European Social and Cultural Studies

为建立以澳大利亚为基地的中世纪和早期现代研究学者国际研究网络(MEMS)寻求资金支持。MEMS网络将在三个主要领域发展协作、跨机构和跨学科的调查路线：家庭、性别和社会历史；战争、和平和冲突；澳大利亚对欧洲文化的接受。目标是：澳大利亚相关资源的文献计量调查；协调和整合现有澳大利亚MEMS组织、早期职业研究人员和与世隔绝的学者的努力的会议；研究生交流；开发一个网络基础，作为连接澳大利亚和国际研究的虚拟研讨会和会议设施。

Funding is sought to establish the framework for an Australian-based international research network of scholars in medieval and early modern studies (MEMS). The MEMS network will develop collaborative, cross-institutional and interdisciplinary lines of enquiry in three main areas: family, gender and social history; war, peace and conflict; Australian reception of European culture. The objectives are: a bibliometric survey of relevant Australian resources; meetings to coordinate and integrate the efforts of existing Australasian MEMS organisations, early career researchers, and isolated scholars; exchanges of postgraduates; development of a web-base to act as a virtual workshop and conference facility linking Australian and international research.
