The International Federation for Public History (IFPH) now welcomes poster proposals for its 2024 World Conference that will take place on 3-7 September, 2024. The conference will be hosted by the Luxembourg Centre for Contemporary and Digital History (C²DH, University of Luxembourg), which is also the IFPH’s headquarters. Participants will enjoy a very international and multicultural environment in the heart of Western Europe. The poster session will take place on site during the conference.
Posters offer an opportunity for those keen to share their public history projects using visual and material evidence. We are interested in displaying innovative public history projects that engage with relevant issues to the field. We also encourage potential applicants to apply if their work is part of a multi-year or ongoing project in order for them to receive feedback and resources from their colleagues at the conference.
Proposals must be submitted in English via the IFPH 2024 website and must include:
- A poster title
- An abstract of no more than 250 words explaining the projects and its relevance for public history
- Supplementary data- a visual preliminary draft of the poster (a slide, sketch, a word document or any other visual format). As well as a brief explanation of needs for the poster display.
- A short biography (max 150 words)
An optimal poster should include a title, images capable of illustrating the project and a short text that summarizes the main points. Posters will be no larger than 90 x 120 cm. Successful applicants will be responsible for printing and bringing their posters to the event.
To support accessibility, there will be no conference registration fee. However, all presenters have to be members of the IFPH by the time of the conference - please consult the website of the IFPH for more information on memberships. The conference organisers cannot provide any travel fund.
