About GRACEH
The GRACEH (Graduate Conference in European History) series was launched in Budapest in 2007 and is co-organized since 2010 by Central European University, the European University Institute, University of Vienna, and the University of Oxford. The conference is hosted annually by one of these institutions.
The central aim of GRACEH is to create a network of graduate students and early career researchers in the field of European history, covering topics that range from the early modern period to the recent past. It functions as a platform for historiographical, methodological, and theoretical discussion among peers and senior academics. Participants are encouraged to share their research within the framework of the conference topic.
