2024 marks the 10th jubilee anniversary of the Matenadaran Annual Youth Conference.
The conference demonstrated its efficacy and high standard. Considering its nature and significance as well as the pivotal role of the Mashtots Matenadaran in Armenian medieval studies, we decided to broaden the focus of the conference. Starting from this year it will take place under the updated name of the “Matenadaran Conference on Medieval Studies”
For its 10th edition, within the premises of the Mashtots Matenadaran, this international conference with a focus on medieval studies will welcome scholars from various scientific and educational institutions both in Armenia and beyond.
It provides remarkable opportunity for researchers specializing in different areas of Armenian studies to present their ongoing or completed research and to develop joint research projects, among other activities.

The thematic guidelines of the conference are:
