Conferences and Workshops

The BASEES annual conference was held from April 10 to 12, 2026, hosted this year by the University of Birmingham. The aim of this three-day international conference, featuring a rich program, was to provide a forum for the most significant current research examining the history and present of Central and Eastern Europe. Participating researchers, university students, and faculty members presented their projects and discussed the most important issues concerning the region’s past, present, and future within the framework of an interdisciplinary dialogue.

In Europe, it is only in recent years that academic conferences and workshops have begun to be organized with the aim of giving diplomatic corps, think tanks, and various foreign ministries and background organizations dealing with security policy direct access to historical knowledge.
