It was a tremendous honour to give a keynote on The Legacy of the Irish Scholar Dicuil at the Fourth European Symposium in Celtic Studies in Bonn last Wednesday. I can’t thank @elenaparina.bsky.social and her team enough for the invitation, welcome, and the perfect organisation of the conference!

Still struggling to find coherent words to report about the Fourth European Symposium in Celtic Studies - meanwhile only endless gratitude to the team, thankfulness to all the colleagues who came and made it such a wonderful new milestone in the history of Celtic Studies in Bonn!
