The Portuguese Association of Economic and Social History announces the 45thAPHES Annual Conference, which will take place on November 6 and 7, 2026, at the University of Minho. This year’s edition will be dedicated to the theme “War Economies / Societies at War” and aims to analyze and reflect on the multiple relationships between conflict, the economy, and social organization in different historical contexts. The event will feature Jeremy Black (University of Exeter) as Keynote Speaker, who will present the lecture War as a Social and Economic Fundamental, Past, Present and Future.

The submission of proposals for individual papers or thematic panels is open until May 15. As in previous years, the meeting seeks to promote a space for interdisciplinary dialogue, bringing together researchers from different fields and career stages. In an international context marked by renewed geopolitical tensions, this reflection is particularly relevant, contributing to a deeper understanding of contemporary challenges.

The call for papers is open until 15 May.
