Call for Applications: Global History Student Conference 2026
We are pleased to announce that the Global History Student Conference will return in 2026! The conference will be held from June 12–14, 2026, in Berlin, at the Friedrich-Meinecke-Institut of the Freie Universität.
Global history targets relations, flows, and actors that challenge the assumption of the nation-state as a natural and inevitable category of historical analysis. It calls attention to the importance of transnational, trans-regional, or trans-local connections and their influence on the past. We invite scholars of the modern, early modern, medieval or classical periods to consider submitting their research. Moreover, global history not only challenges geographical borders, but also tends to transcend disciplinary boundaries. Accordingly, we welcome submissions from any academic field related to history (e.g. art history, area studies, social sciences, etc.). Submitted abstracts should reflect finished work or ongoing research.
The goal is to exchange experiences and to work together in an open and non-competitive way. We strongly encourage applicants from historically underrepresented backgrounds to submit their work. We also explicitly invite undergraduate students: if you have ever written a paper or essay in this field, this is the perfect place to present it!
The Global History Student Conference will take place from June 12–14, 2026 at the Friedrich-Meinecke-Institut of the Freie Universität in Berlin. The language of the conference is English, so please write your submissions in English. Please note that the conference is intended to be held in person in Berlin. There is no intention of simultaneous digital participation.
Submit the registration form by December 31, 2025 via this link.
Upload your 300-word abstract as a PDF file by December 31, 2025 via this link.

We will be able to offer some financial reimbursement for transportation to participants traveling from outside of Berlin, though conference participants are responsible for covering their immediate trip costs.Please note our ability to do so is limited. We prioritize funding for participants traveling from outside of Europe.

We are looking forward to hearing from you!
