Annual Graduate Conference on the History of European Integration

The Annual Graduate Conference provides a unique setting for PhD students and early career researchers to discuss ongoing research related to the history of European integration.

Organised by the Alcide de Gasperi Centre with financial support from the International Visegrad Fund, the European University Institute, and the ERC-funded project EURECON, the two-day graduate conference allows early career researchers from across Europe to present their work, receive feedback, and engage with senior scholars on historiographical and methodological approaches to European integration. The aim of the conference is to provide an informal atmosphere in which new ideas and research directions, as well as advice on publishing and academic careers can be shared and debated.

The conference organisers hope to facilitate network building and support research on European integration among doctoral and early career researchers from across Europe, including those hailing from eastern Europe, the accession countries, and the western Balkans.

The programme will be designed around sessions where selected participants present their submitted research papers for discussion and feedback, as well as presentations by more senior academics concerning academic publications and careers.
