3rd Student Forum of Classical and Humanistic Studies

The Centre for Classical and Humanistic Studies (CECH) of the University of Coimbra is pleased to host the 3rd Student Forum on Classical and Humanistic Studies, which will take place on 3 July 2024 in Amphitheatre III.
The 3rd Student Forum on Classical and Humanistic Studies (FE-ECH) is organised as part of the activities of the Centre for Classical and Humanistic Studies (CECH), a UC Research & Development Unit based at FLUC. This Forum has Classical Studies, the cultural heritage of humanity, as its overarching theme. CECH works on the founding areas of Greek and Latin Studies, Medieval and Renaissance Studies, knowledge whose deepening and specialisation has made it possible to extend, as a natural growth strategy, scientific work in the fields of Cultural Heritage, namely Reception Studies, Food Heritage and the analysis of Musical Funds. Literature, Philosophy, Ancient History and Archaeology complete the humanities, humanistic and humanist research promoted by the CECH, doing justice to the wise motto that nothing is alien to human beings. Interdisciplinarity is therefore a fundamental axis of the research carried out at CECH.

After the first Student Forum in 2022 and the second in 2023, each year the importance of this meeting becomes clearer as a place to foster dialogue between young researchers and students at various levels of their university education, by sharing experiences and challenges and solving problems collaboratively. For this reason, we have chosen Hebe, the Goddess of Eternal Youth, a symbol of remembrance of our youthful vitality, and Cicero, a Latin writer who represents the value of intellectuality and knowledge, as representatives of this third edition.
The forum's Executive Committee is made up of master's and doctoral students of Classical Studies at FLUC, its first promoters. As students and researchers, much of our intellectual work consists of raising problems, questions, discovering "things", formulating hypotheses, testing them and relating them, producing coherent and well-founded discourses. In this analytical work, we actually put forward explanatory hypotheses for what we are observing. Each of us has our own "theses" to defend to our tutors, teachers and peers. Before we reached the 3rd cycle of studies, we had other experiences of creating "theses", both in more in-depth work during our bachelor's and master's degrees. That's why our Student Forum is an inclusive space, designed to bring theses from different levels of training and research into dialogue!

The Centre for Classical and Humanistic Studies (CECH) of the University of Coimbra is pleased to host the III Forum-Student of Classical and Humanistic Studies, which will take place on 3 July 2024 in Amphitheatre III.

This meeting aims to be a forum for shared discussion and reflection on the work developed and in progress by students from the 3 cycles (Bachelor's, Master's and PhD) or recent PhD students (up to 5 years or attending post-doctoral studies) in the scientific and thematic areas hosted by CECH.

Proposals will be selected by the Scientific Committee, with consideration given to those in the areas of Greek Studies, Latin Studies, Medieval Studies, Renaissance Studies, Reception Studies, Cultural Heritage (classical, Lusophone, global), Food Heritage, Philosophy and Musical Funds, as well as those that cross these themes in an inter- and transdisciplinary approach.

The best papers will be invited to be published as articles in the journal Boletim de Estudos Clássicos, indexed in Scopus, Web of Science, among others.
