About

The European scale is key for the understanding of our history. We work at the crossroads of an institutional, political and social perspective on European integration on the one hand, and approaches focused on the C²DH’s areas of excellence (notably digital history) on the other hand. Networks, memories, infrastructures and media are also key in our understanding of European history. To discover some of the projects related to European history, you may have a further look at the BUREU project, at the Schuman House’s website, at the COST action entitled SlowMemory and many other projects.
