The 14th European Social Science History Conference 12-15 April 2023 was organized by the IISH in co-operation with the University of Gothenburg, Gothenburg, Sweden.

The aim of the ESSHC is bringing together scholars interested in explaining historical phenomena using the methods of the social sciences. The conference is characterized by a lively exchange in many small groups, rather than by formal plenary sessions. The conference welcomes papers and sessions on any historical topic and any historical period. It is organized in 27 thematic networks.
