Το Ινστιτούτο Μεσογειακών Σπουδών του Ιδρύματος Τεχνολογίας και Έρευνας συμμετέχει στον εορτασμό των 200 χρόνων από την επανάσταση του 1821 με μια σειρά διαλέξεων που διεξάγονται τόσο δια ζώσης όσο και από το διαδίκτυο. Με αφετηρία τους ιδιαίτερους τομείς της νεότερης ελληνικής, οθωμανικής και μεσογειακής ιστορίας στους οποίους ειδικεύεται το Ινστιτούτο, και τους δεσμούς που έχει δημιουργήσει στις δεκαετίες της ύπαρξής του με Έλληνες και αλλοδαπούς ιστορικούς, επιλέχθηκαν μια σειρά από θεματικές και ομιλητές που ελπίζουμε ότι θα συμβάλουν σε μια καλύτερη κατανόηση της επανάστασης που ίδρυσε το ελληνικό κράτος και του βαθμού στον οποίο υπήρξε σημαντικό γεγονός για την ευρύτερη περιφέρεια της Ανατολικής Μεσογείου, για την Ευρώπη και για τον κόσμο.

The Young Scholar Initiative (YSI) Economic History Working Group and the Universidad Complutense de Madrid are organizing a two-day workshop on April, 21st-22nd. The theme will be "Magnifying Spaces of Capitalism: Sources and data of a Transforming World".

This two-day workshop seeks to provide an experimental space for the sound confrontation of various empirical studies painting better images of institutional and structural changes at heart in the development of early forms of capitalism. Following a successful first workshop that essentially discussed issues related to considering multiple scales of analysis in the historical study of economic phenomena, this second edition will primarily facilitate a discussion on the various and multifaceted sources best suited to facilitate research in the history of capitalism.

The Institute of Social Sciences (ICS) and the Lisbon School of Economics and Management (ISEG) of the University of Lisbon invite submissions to the conference committee on the theme of “Giving Credit to Dictatorship: Authoritarian Regimes and Financial Capitalism in the Twentieth Century”.

The 2022 International Committee for the History of Technology’s 49^th Symposium will take place virtually. It will occur in 3 phases, each lasting two days. The 1st meeting will be in June (17, 18), the 2nd in September (24, 25), and the 3rd in October (15, 16). The Kranzberg Lecture will take place in June.

The general theme is “Technology-based and Technology-generated decisions”. Whereas technology-based decisions have a long history, technology-generated decisions of so-called artificial intelligence, AI, are on the horizon since the turn of the 21^st century and might gain decisive influence within the next years. Which decisions we are willing to handle over to technology? How to define ethical guidelines for this development? The symposium aims to contribute to this discussion, based on a transnational perspective of the history of technology.

This annually-held conference addresses the role of women in consumerism, shopping, global trade, domestic trade, markets (literary and otherwise), currency, and varying practices of exchange. The conference is interdisciplinary in nature, bridging literature, material culture, gender studies, theatre and economic history, and aims to relate the debates of the period to modern-day issues about the presence and position of women in the economy, the market and the media.

The results of this call for research papers will be presented at Prato during the 54th Study Week (May 14th-18th, 2023)

The Turriano ICOHTEC Prize is an Early Career Prize for Books on the history of technology, sponsored by the Juanelo Turriano Foundation and consists of 2,500 Euro. The prize-winning book will be presented and discussed at a special session of the next ICOHTEC symposium, that will take place as part of the 27th International Congress for the History of Science and Technology.
