Call for papers 17th EAUH Conference (Barcelona, 2-5 September 2026) – extended deadline 17 Nov 2025

The 17th conference of the European Association for Urban History (EAUH) will be held on 2-5 September 2026 in Barcelona, the capital of Catalonia.

The conference’s central theme is ‘City Networks in Europe and Beyond’. City networks have played a strategically important role in both the past and the present. Cities and the connections between them have been just as influential—if not more so—than states in shaping Europe and extending its influence beyond the continent, especially through colonial relationships. Although the history of Europe is often identified with states and nations, it is largely the history of its networked cities.

The (extended) deadline for the submission of paper proposals is 17 November 2025.
