The Fragments Symposium is a gathering of scholars, curators, archivists and others interested in the phenomenon of the medieval manuscript fragment. Lisa Fagin Davis (Manuscript Road Trip blogger and Executive Director of the Medieval Academy of America); Christoph Flueler (Director of the Fragmentarium Project); and A.S. G. Edwards (medieval manuscript scholar, Kent) will deliver three keynote lectures which will serve as prompts for workshops or round tables throughout the day. The aim of the symposium is to explore the possibility of a shared project and/or database for Irish repositories. The symposium is of interest, therefore, to those interested in the scholarship of fragments, but also those concerned with archiving and detailing their presence in the collections.

UCD hosted the Sixteenth Biennial conference of the Early Book Society for those interested in the material history of the book and its relationship to the text. With over 100 international delegates the conference ran over four days to include research trips to local repositories such as the Royal Irish Academy, Edward Worth Library, the Chester Beatty and Marsh's Library. Part of the conference was co-hosted by the Long Room Hub and School of English Trinity College Dublin.
