The aim of the European Social Science History Conference (ESSHC) is to bring together scholars who explain historical phenomena using the methods of the social sciences.

The conference is characterized by a lively, small group exchange, rather than in formal plenary sessions. The conference is organized in many networks covering specific topics. It welcomes papers and sessions on any historical topic and any historical period.

World History Panel

The World History Network, led since 2008 by David F. Lindenfeld (Louisiana State University) and Matthias Middell (University of Leipzig), invites the submission of Panel proposals and proposals for individual papers. For the 2014 edition of ESSHC the overall theme of World History Network's panel is "Intercontinental Connections and Comparisons." This is meant as allowing for a broad range of topics looking at the world-wide perceptions, echoes and possibly consequences of events that might have happened in one part of the world but have caused repercussions elsewhere as well. Submissions need not be limited to this theme, however.
