His main research interests are conflict management and peacemaking in the Middle Ages, the history of Burgundy in the Middle Ages as well as general political history in the High Middle Ages and the relationships between peoples and empires in the Middle Ages. In his dissertation, Kamp wants to open up a new period of time with a “microscopic method” based on Nicolas Rolin with the late Middle Ages. Previous research on the Memoria has focused on the early and high Middle Ages. In his Münster habilitation thesis he dealt with peacemaking and conflict resolution from the Merovingian period to the 14th century. Kamp is a member of the Konstanz working group for medieval history . In autumn 2016 he organized a Reichenau conference of the Constance Working Group for Medieval History on the subject of “Rulership over foreign peoples and empires. Forms, goals and problems of the politics of conquest in the Middle Ages ”.
