The Mälardalen Esotericism Seminars (MES) is a collaborative series of research seminars bringing together established scholars, PhD candidates and advanced students researching various aspects of esotericism at universities in the Mälardalen area. Seminars focus on work in progress by MES members or invited scholars, and on discussion of new developments in the field. MES currently consists of regular participants from Stockholm University, Södertörn University, Linköping University, and Uppsala University. The Autumn 2025 seminars will be hosted at Stockholm University.
