The European Network in Universal and Global History take great pleasure
in inviting you to the First European Congress of World- and Global
History which will take place in Leipzig, Germany, from September 22-25,
2005.

The Congress will pursue three objectives:

   1. It should enable as broad an overview as possible to be obtained
      of the numerous efforts being made on the subject in various
      European countries, whereby, in addition to research aspects, the
      question of how world and global history is taught at schools and
      universities, or should be taught, is also of interest.
   2. The congress is an invitation to a mutual discussion of the
      intellectual traditions of world history documentation, which are
      viewed in the various European countries as positive reference or
      as a foil for the current debates in world and global history.
   3.  From the European perspective, world and global history is
      traditionally a discussion of the relationship to the regions
      beyond Europe, as well as a debate regarding the role of Europe or
      its sovereign states in international organisations and global
      networks. This also incorporates fundamental methodological
      questions such as that of the relationship between historical
      comparatistic and relationship and/or integrational history.

      The official languages of the congress are English, German and Fren=
ch.
