The conference is supported by
the Polish National Agency for Academic Exchange under the task
assigned by the Ministry of Education and Science Republic of Poland
Solidarity with Ukraine - European Universities.
This year we want to focus on how to educate historians and archivists at universities, so that when they have finished their education they will be, according to the conference's title, 'engaged with the past and active in the present'. Like the previous edition, the conference focuses in particular on networking between representatives of the YUFE consortium and Ukrainian university partners.
Conference venue: Collegium Humanisticum, ul. Bojarskiego 1, 87-100 Toruń
