Applied
European
Contemporary
History

Our network aims to bridge the gap between regional, disciplinary and academic cultures to explore how to establish Applied European Contemporary History as a new Europe related sub-discipline of historical science.

It comprises members active in academia, NGOs, museums and memorial sites from Belgium, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Germany, Poland, and Serbia. The network is part of the Jean Monnet Activities 2016 — 2019 which are co-funded by the European Union. Its activities are coordinated at the University of Jena.
