Agenda
World Economic History Congress 2025 (Lund, Sweden)
The theme for the 2025 World Economic History Congress (WEHC), to be held on 28 July-1 August 2025 in Lund, Sweden, is “Equality and Sustainability Challenges”. The WEHC is an international and interdisciplinary event, taking place every third year, placing economic history at its core. The congress appeals not only to economic historians but also to historians, political scientists, management scientists, sociologists, demographers, geographers, anthropologists, ethnographers, psychologists, philosophers, historians of science and technology, and natural and life scientists. Researchers from around the world are cordially invited to participate.
The WEHC organisers call for session proposals addressing the theme of “Equality and Sustainability Challenges”. This theme underscores some of the pressing issues humanity faces today and draws connections to a diverse array of historical problems. To both understand and address these challenges, and to derive insights from the historical record, a range of perspectives is essential.
Proposals should be submitted ultimately by 15 March 2024 (extended deadline) via the conference website.
