The ELKH Research Centre for the Humanities (RCH) organized a scientific conference entitled Stabilitas Loci Benedictini – Centuries of Benedictines in the light of recent research on November 25. At the event held as part of the Hungarian Science Festival the experts presented the main results of two interrelated projects supported by ELKH aimed at exploring the history of the Benedictine Order over the centuries: the Tihany King’s Crypt and the Kings, and the Saints and Monasteries.

The planned excavation works in the area of the Benedictine monastery in Bakonybél carried out as part of the Kings – Saints – Monasteries research program and launched with the support of the Eötvös Loránd Research Network (ELKH) have been completed. The excavation carried out in the courtyard of the monastery provided a wealth of important information, some of it quite surprising, about the centuries-old history of the monastic community founded by Saint Stephen.

As part of a 202-member international group, researchers from the Institute of Archaeogenomics of the ELKH Research Centre for the Humanities (RCH) and the Institute of Biology of ELTE Faculty of Natural Sciences investigated the cultural and genetic relationships of the prehistoric, ancient and medieval populations living in the area forming a bridge between Europe and Asia ‒ the so-called Southern Arc.
