The CARMEN network was set up after preliminary discussions at the Leeds
International Medieval Congress 2006. Participants agreed that there was a need for
a European version of the Centers and Regional Associations committee (CARA) of
the Medieval Academy of America. It was also agreed that such a project should be
open and global, and modelled on an informal network as opposed to some formal
academy or learned society.
This paper assesses how successful CARMEN has been in achieving its stated or
implicit goals from eight years ago, in particular: 1. generating research funding
for medievalists, 2. learning from each other and sharing best practice, 3. creating
a global platform for medieval centres and national associations, 4. becoming a
sustainable network.
