European History Network - CLIOHRES

CLIOHRES

CLIOHRES (“Creating Links and Innovative Overviews for a New History Research Agenda for the Citizens of a Growing Europe") is a Sixth Framework Programme Network of Excellence organized by a group of 45 universities, many of which are CLIOH.net members.

A five year project, it aims at achieving and disseminating greater understanding of both the actual histories and the representations of the past current in Europe today, highlighting both diversities and connections and explaining the development context. It brings together historians, geographers, art historians, linguists, theologists, philologists, sociologists and philosophers in order to explore how differences, connections, conflicts and positive interaction have developed in the past and can develop in the future. It involves 180 research staff and doctoral students from 31 countries.

CLIOHRES has six thematic working groups. They are:

1. States, legislation, institutions
2. Power and culture, including language, art and architecture
3. Religious and Philosophical concepts
4. Work, Gender and Society
5. Frontiers and Identities
6. Europe and the World
