UACES Annual Conference 2024
Our 54th Annual Conference
Scholars, researchers, and experts from across Europe will come together in Trento to exchange ideas, insights, and innovative research in the field of European Studies. Panel discussions, interactive panels, and networking opportunities will provide a unique space for academic growth and collaboration.
