About GRACEH
The Graduate Annual Conference in European History (GRACEH), launched in Budapest in 2007, is organised by graduate students from Central European University, the European University Institute, the University of Vienna, and the University of Oxford.
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.
