Economic History Graduate Webinar – Spring 2025

We are launching a new YSI-EHES Economic History Graduate Webinar edition next Spring. As in previous editions, we provide a platform for young researchers to present their ongoing work and get feedback from senior scholars. The online format has made exchanges among people from different regions and research areas possible, offering early-stage researchers an important venue. 

If you are interested in attending the webinar and receiving the program, please register using this form. We will get in touch with you as soon as we can.
