The International Federation for Public History<\/a> (IFPH) now welcomes applications for its 2024 World Conference that will take place on 3-7 September, 2024. The conference will be hosted by the Luxembourg Centre for Contemporary and Digital History (C\u00b2DH, University of Luxembourg), which is also the IFPH\u2019s headquarters. Participants will enjoy a very international and multicultural environment in the heart of Western Europe<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nInternational, Hybrid, and Green Event<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Our aim for the conference is to be as inclusive and accessible as possible. In order to foster more international discussions, the IFPH and the C\u00b2DH have decided to offer hybrid opportunities for those presenting and attending the conference. Presenters can choose to present their papers on-site in Luxembourg or online through our video conferencing tool. Sessions will be facilitated to allow discussions between on-site and online presenters and attendants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hybrid conferences offer notable environmental advantages by curbing the carbon footprint associated with traditional, fully in-person events. By using the virtual attendance options, participants can significantly reduce travel-related emissions, contributing to lower air pollution and energy consumption. To go further, the conference will follow the recommendations of the General Directorate of Tourism of the Ministry of Economy of Luxembourg on Green Events organisation (a focus on local, organic and seasonal food, plant-based and vegetarian options, waste reduction, reusable and biodegradable serve ware, sustainable goodies, selection of hotels with Ecolabel). We encourage on-site participants to think green while preparing for their stay in Luxembourg: using public transportation (free in Luxembourg) and soft mobility, bringing your own coffee tumblers and refillable water bottles, digitising your business cards, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nOpen Call<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The field of public history is expanding rapidly. Similar to C\u00b2DH\u2019s many activities<\/a>, public history fosters accessibility, engagement, and participation for a wide range of people. The links between \u201chistory\u201d and \u201cpublics\u201d can take many forms including different audiences, contributors, spaces, projects, and uses of the past. In line with previous IFPH conferences<\/a>, the 2024 event has an open call that invites proposals and discussions on history for, with, by, of, in, or among different publics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Proposals may include (but are not limited to) the following topics:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
