Fellow scholars in Florence. How often have you gone to the library and seen a poster for a conference that took place LAST WEEK that you would have liked to attend? How often is your inbox filled with last minute invitations from institutes offering seminars that, had you known in advance, you might have attended? I’m sure this post addresses a rather limited number of people in Florence, but since I’ve had trouble keeping track of all the academic or scholarly events in town, I figure someone else out there might find this useful.

I have compiled a table of Academic Conferences in Florence for Fall 2009 through the end of December. Below is a preview of the information. You can download the whole table of academic_conferences_fall09 in pdf form (this table also has clickable links to source websites for further info). Hope this helps you organize your scholarly life!
