To celebrate its centenary, the CISH Board has declared 2026 the Year of the CISH. Members will be involved in a number of activities:

  1. The CISH-Board has drafted a new Constitution for CISH to be enacted in 2026. Read the draft here and participate in the public consultation on 31 October 2025. More details here.
  2. The CISH-Board calls its members to submit candidatures for hosting the next World Congress of Historical Sciences in 2029 or 2030. More details here.
  3. CISH is preparing an edition of sources that will document its history since the founding in 1926. For that purpose, we’re asking our members to send historical documents of their cooperation with CISH to edition@cish.org until September 30, 2025. Details can be found found here.
  4. To celebrate its centenary, the CISH Board is supporting events and activities around the world commemorating CISH. More information on this and how to apply is available here.
  5. All National Committees, International Organisations, and Internal Commissions are warmly invited to contribute to a new video project highlighting the diverse activities and contributions of each member group. We are collecting a series of short videos — each no longer than 4 minutes — to showcase your initiatives, achievements, and ongoing work. Details can be found found here.

XXIII International Congress of Historical Sciences, Poznań 2020/2022: Solidarity Fund for Ukrainian historians

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.
