The Board of CISH would like to inform of its intention to promote the participation of as many Ukrainian historians as possible in the Congress, with the dedication of 10,000 Swiss Francs from its Solidarity Fund to that end.

The Board recommends that the local organizers arrange a round table to investigate topics from Ukrainian and Russian history in order to facilitate a historical discussion of the current situation for the general public.

Update on the XXIII Congress

Not so long ago, we informed you about the postponement of the XXIII International Congress of Historical Sciences in Poznań to 2022. Today, we would like to update you with the latest decision of the ICHS Board that the Congress will be held on August 21–27, 2022 on the same terms as it was originally planned.

Congress fees will be maintained at the same level. The fee you have already paid is of course valid for the new date. If, unfortunately, you are not able to attend the Congress in August 2022, you may cancel your registration under general conditions.

As a result of the decision to postpone the Congress, the early bird registration has been extended to March 31, 2022.

It is still possible to apply for the participation in the Research Forum. Soon we will also announce the terms of applying for the poster session.
