Call for Papers: Central European History Convention, Vienna, Austria

In July 2027 the University of Vienna, the Institute of Austrian Historical Research, and the Wirth Institute of Austrian and Central European Studies will host a second Central European History Convention (CEH-C). This event is, again, dedicated to providing a platform for dynamic and convivial exchange on Central European History across specialties, national/ language traditions, generations of scholarship, and periods — from the Middle Ages until World War II. 

The focus of the discussions will be on the lands of the former Habsburg Empire and its neighbors (including the territories of the former Ottoman empire). The goal is to facilitate international dialogue about the history of this region, with a special focus on building networks and frameworks for comparative research.
