Organizer: The EUROPAST Consortium (Projektpartner: Universität Vilnius, Leitung, Prof. Violeta Davoliūtė; Joint Faculties of Humanities and Theology, Lund University; C²DH, University of Luxembourg; ZZF Potsdam)

The Europast Summer Schools are designed to offer theoretical and methodological training, whilst placing a strong emphasis on supporting the development of early-career researchers in their chosen fields, promoting research integrity, conduct, and communication.

The 2024 Summer School will take place in Luxembourg at the Centre for Contemporary and Digital History. It aims to gather scholars interested in the contribution of digital tools and methods to the creation, production, and analysis of public historical narratives. Across the four days of training we will host and discuss topics including practices of co-production, curation, analysis and archiving.

The Summer School will run with a daily timetable divided into three modules:

• Conversations keynote presentations 
• followed by a discussionWorkshops History and Video Games; Podcasting; Tropy application for data management; Crowdsourcing
• Presentations 10-minute lightning talks by ECRs on their work and one specific point they would like to discuss further (methodology, audience, collaboration, etc.)

The detailed programme you will find on the EUROPAST project website.

About the project EUROPAST

In close collaboration with the Leibniz Centre for Contemporary History (ZZF) Potsdam, the Joint Faculties of Humanities and Theology (Lund University), and the Centre for Contemporary and Digital History (C²DH, University of Luxembourg), the Institute of International Relations and Political Science, Vilnius University, is leading a three year Horizon Twinning project "Facing the Past. Public History for a Stronger Europe". The project aims to explore the theory and practice of engaging citizens in the co-production and communication of the past in the digital age.

Through an effective combination of training, networking, research, and communication activities, the project will establish an interdisciplinary research network, which will contribute to the democratization of historical practices through inclusion, empowerment, and engagement of citizens in critical debates about the past.
The EUROPAST training programme, led by the C²DH, envisions the organization of three Summer Schools.
The second Summer School, focusing on digital tools and public history, will take place at the University of Luxembourg, Maison des Sciences Humaines Building (MSH), Centre for Contemporary and Digital History.
