While registration for the Sixteenth International Saga Conference has closed, particularly those of us not attending this year (including myself, unfortunately) will be interested at taking a look at the presentation abstracts available under “Download abstracts thematic strands” at the University of Basel and the University of Zurich’s Saga Conference website here.

The International Saga Conference, the largest conference dedicated to ancient Germanic studies in the world, will be held this year in Basel and Zurich, Switzerland from August 9 to August 15, 2015, and will feature presentations by numerous academics in a variety of fields. Having had the pleasure to attend the Fifteenth International Saga Conference in Aarhus in 2012, I can attest that the conference is a hotbed for cutting edge research in the field.
