Conference: Austria-Hungary in the global colonial system
The Doctoral School of Historical and Cultural Studies at the University of Vienna and the Collegium Hungaricum are planning a joint two-day conference on Austria-Hungary's colonial-historical past for 10 and 11 October 2025. In recent years, the examination of the Habsburg Monarchy in the context of colonial history has increasingly become part of academic publications and public discourse.
The aim of this conference is to contribute to current research on the social, economic, military and cultural aspects of Austria-Hungary's colonial past and its embedding in international structures that enabled colonial or semi-colonial rule. It is also intended to provide an opportunity to further network historical research and prepare it for the interested public. In this context, in addition to lectures by established researchers, new research findings and the work of younger academics from various subject areas with a colonial context will also be presented.
10. Okt: Collegium Hungaricum, Hollandstraße 4, 1020 Wien 11. Okt: Alte Kapelle am Campus der Universität Wien Spitalgasse 2, Hof 1. Eingang 2.8 1090 Wien
