In July 2025 the University of Vienna and the Institute of Austrian Historical Research will host the first Central European History Convention (CEH-C). This event is dedicated to providing a platform for exchange on Central European History from the late medieval period to the mid-20th century, with a focus on the lands of the former Habsburg Empire and its neighbors (including the territories of the former Ottoman empire).

We want to create a space in Europe where colleagues from many different parts of the world can share and discuss findings, methodologies, and ideas across regions, disciplines, and national/language traditions.

Central European History Convention (CEH-C)

We invite scholars from all historically oriented fields at any point in their academic career to submit a paper proposal and/or attend. We particularly encourage PhD students to apply. The goal of this convention is to facilitate international dialogue about the history of this region, with a special focus on building networks and frameworks for comparative research.

Submissions should be done on an individual basis. The Program Committee will organize the panels with an eye toward fostering new networks and conversations.

This convention requires no participation fees and offers extremely economically viable housing costs, with financial support for travel and housing available for those in need.

Programm

The three-day conference will feature a keynote by Professor Tara Zahra (University of Chicago) and a panel discussion on the work and influence of Professor Pieter Judson (European University Institute, retired).

The CEH-C invites proposals for contributions on, but not limited to, new approaches to the following subjects as they pertain to Central European Studies:

- Cultural History
- Economic History
- Global History
- Intellectual History
- Political History
- Social History
- Administrative/Bureaucratic History
- Business History
- History of Diplomacy
- Dynastic History
- Environmental History
- History of Gender and Sexuality
- Legal History
- Media and Communication
- Military History
- History of Science & Technology
- Urban History
- Digital Humanities
- Memory Culture

This is not a comprehensive list but rather an indication of the variety of approaches we intend to cover. If in doubt, please contact the organizers to check whether the subject you have in mind would fit.
