The Mediävistenverband has recently changed its publication policies, adopting open access as the way to be followed in the future. On this occasion, this first volume published under the new circumstances takes a look at the situation of medieval studies in 2021, developing new strategies which may guide our future work. Members of the presidency and of the advisory board combine their expertise to explore some of the main academic, political and social issues. At the outset, six strategic papers discuss the relevance of medieval studies, problems related to the use of the term “middle ages”, challenges faced by young scholars while developing their career options, new possibilities opened up for research communication, digital humanities in medieval studies as well as advantages and disadvantages of large research centres. These interdisciplinary essays are complemented by shorter texts, each discussing one medieval discipline individually, covering the whole range from archaeology to Scandinavian studies and theology, including the important interrelationship of medieval studies and secondary education. In the third part, the reviews focus on digital publications in medieval disciplines.
