European Humanities Conference to be held in Portugal

From May 5 to 7, the European Humanities Conference (CEH) will be held at the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation and online, organized under the Portuguese Presidency of the Council of the European Union.

This meeting follows on from the recommendations of the UNESCO World Conference in Liège in 2017, which led to several regional conferences on various continents and several new international programs that are currently being implemented. These programs have resulted in three ongoing thematic projects: the World Humanities Report, the Global History of Humanity, and an Arts and Society project.

Four main topics will be discussed at this conference: Multidisciplinary Dynamics as Education and R&D strategies for solving significant problems; Heritage, mobility, and identities; Influence and impact of the Humanities on society; and The Humanities in the 21st Century.

The European Humanities Conference in Portugal is the result of strong collaboration between Portuguese academia and the various international unions and federations that make up CIPSH (Conseil International de la Philosophie et des Sciences Humaines). This event will also promote the development of national and community strategies in the field of humanities.

The conference is organized in partnership between FCT, CIPSH, and UNESCO, through the Management of Social Transformations (MOST) Program.
