The fellowship was arranged to afford Mag. Martin Bauer of the University of Innsbruck and Dr. Philip Booth of Manchester Metropolitan University to discuss their shared research interest in the literary history of accounts of Latin Christian travel to the Holy Land and East in the period 1250–1400. Over and above this, the fellowship was intended to facilitate the planning of future collaborative enterprises which would serve to provide further opportunities for joint research outputs in the years to come. For example, the two researchers are planning an international workshop at the University of Innsbruck in Spring 2019. Dr. Booth also hold a guest lecture during his visit entitled "Encountering Saracens and Saints. The Pilgrimage of Thietmar to the Holy Land (1217–1218)".
