Description:<\/strong><\/p>

Although the idea of Europe dates back to ancient times and was crystallised in the Enlightenment, the plan for European unification emerged in the second half of the 20th century as a consequence of an economic process based on a single market and a single currency. European integration is therefore a recent chapter in the history of Europe, one which has been written before our very eyes, but it remains fragmented into disparate national histories.<\/p>

In the 21st century, those writing the history of Europe find themselves confronted with a threefold challenge: they must meet the demands of the digital age, adjust to the paradigm shift within the historical discipline and navigate the geopolitical upheavals that the continent has been experiencing\u00a0since 1989 (the fall of communism; the enlargement of the European Union; the many crises the EU has faced, including Brexit; the divide between institutions and citizens; the socio-economic consequences of the global crisis, including the COVID-19 health crisis; the new nature of transatlantic relations, etc.).<\/p>

Today\u2019s historians must find answers to several fundamental questions: How can European history be pieced together, written and preserved today, when the reality often lies beyond our foresight and when the rules of the game, the underlying framework and the keys to understanding have changed? How can we foster the emergence of a new vision of European history on the basis of a comparative, multifaceted, democratic approach? What is history\u2019s response to the challenge of remembrance? How can we strike a balance between reviving the identity narratives of national history and writing a unified narrative of European history? What role do interdisciplinarity, digital methodologies, interactivity and networking play in the analysis and interpretation of sources? How can the history of European integration be told to younger generations? How can this history be put on display in museums? How can it be shared in the digital age?<\/p>
