The meetings Europe in the world are the result of a partnership between the CEIS20, of the University of Coimbra, and the IHC of the Faculty of Social Sciences and Humanities, Nova University of Lisbon (UNL). These annual meetings will generally take place in April, they will have a central theme and will incorporate a broad range of participants.

"For Peace!" (1849-1939) is the topic chosen for the 2013’s meeting, included in the centennial of the First World War Anniversay Program , organized in Portugal by IHC and coordinated internationally by the Imperial War Museum, London, from which the IHC is partner.

In the nineteenth century and in the beginning of the twentieth century the ideas of peace and the pacifist movements dominated the general concerns in a context where precisely World War I would erupt abruptly and brutally...

How did then the pacifist effervescence coexisted with the outbreak of this conflict on a global scale?

To what extent did this escalating conflict prompted the pacifists, who organized themselves into various movements, making their propaganda in magazines and newspapers, associations, foundations, conferences...?

The 1st Annual Meeting Europe in the World will be held on April 4-5th 2013 at the Faculdade de Letras, Universidade de Coimbra.
