How does diplomacy serve to restore security in a world of crises, conflict and right out wars? The European heads of states not only managed to beat Napoleon in 1815, they also succeeded in negotiating peace between the major European powers, and established a security system for the decades thereafter of which the newly constituted Kingdom of the Netherlands was a substantial part.

The Young Academy and the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences will be organising a major international conference this autumn about the Congress of Vienna, which took place from 1814 to 1815. A discussion of the fruits, merits – but also weaknesses – of the origins of the European security system and ensuing culture will put our time of global upheaval, pending crises and calls to arms in a historical perspective. The programme is displayed below. for a full list of conference speakers, abstracts and the registration form, please see the conference website: http://www.knaw.nl/vienna1815.
