After the success of the Call for Panels (more of one hundred proposals from 37 countries around the world), the EURHO will launch the Call for papers, which will be opened from 5 December 2018 to 1 February 2019. All researchers working on the history of the countryside are invited to submit their paper choosing one of the accepted panel proposals. A paper must include a title, the full name and affiliation of author and co-author (s), and a short abstract (up to 400 words) introducing the topic, its scope and approach. Participants are asked to limit themselves to the presentation of a maximum of two papers in different panels. Each session will last two hours and include four papers. Sessions will be led by a chair and a discussant. The deadline for paper proposals is 1st February 2019.

The deadline for submissions to the ICOHTEC symposium, to be held in Katowice, Poland, 22-27 July 2019, has been extended. The new deadline is 18 February 2019.
