XXIII International Congress of Historical Sciences Poznań 2020

Research Forum

• Research Forum is a new initiative of the Board of the International Committee of Historical Sciences (ICHS). It is to be held for the first time during XXIII International Congress of Historical Sciences in Poznań in 2020.
• The main purpose of the Research Forum is to allow research institutions to present their ongoing or planned projects to an audience of established scholars and beginner researchers. It should provide an opportunity for new cooperation between institutions as well as the addition of high qualified researchers as collaborators. This initiative fully coincides with the ICHS mission, as one of its objectives is to stimulate dialogue between young scholars and various research institutions.

• The Research Forum is addressed to Universities, Research Institutes, Research Foundations and other institutions which support research in the field of history.
