Every year the Remarque Institute hosts an international seminar for young historians and social scientists. These meetings bring together, by invitation, a small number of scholars from the United States, Europe and elsewhere for an extended informal conversation around a defined topic or field. There are no formal presentations and no prepared paper or publication is expected. The seminar, which lasts four days and takes place in a mountain retreat in Kandersteg, Switzerland, offers younger scholars a chance to meet and get to know people in their field – especially those working in other countries – and offers them an opportunity to present and discuss their work in an international context.
In 2014, the Kandersteg Seminar took place from Wednesday, April 30 through Sunday, May 4, 2014. To view the program, please click here.
