A round table of young scholars is planned next to panel discussions and lectures of invited experts. The participants of the round table will discuss and compare politics of history and memory conflicts in Central and Eastern Europe . The main goal will be to explore how the 20th century’s past is (re)interpreted, commemorated, and narrativized in contemporary political life.

We invite young scholars to apply for participation in the round table (with prepared short opening statements).
