Università di Trento, LSE IDEAS-Cold War Studies Programme, European University Institute, Sciences Po, Universitat Wien and the University of East Anglia are jointly convening the Sixth Annual European Summer School on Cold War History at the Università di Trento, 4-6 September 2014.

The Summer School is a unique conference specifically for PhD students and early career researchers to discuss the effects of the Cold War in the fields of politics, culture, and diplomacy, to name only a few.

The School consists of workshops and panel sessions focused on submitted research papers, debates on historiographical and methodology, as well as practical sessions on publishing and academic careers. The school offers an informal atmosphere in which new ideas and research directions can be shared and debated, be it in panel sessions, or over coffee and meals. 

The School has a very high student to faculty ratio (2:1) allowing participants to have in depth discussions about their research with established scholars in the field. The faculty includes prominent scholars, among others:

  • Sara Lorenzini (Schol of International Studies, Università di Trento)
  • Piers Ludlow (LSE)
  • Kaeten Mistry (University of East Anglia)
  • Leopoldo Nuti (Università Roma Tre)
  • Silvio Pons (Università di Roma Tor Vergata)
  • Oliver Rathkolb (Universität Wien)
  • Federico Romero (EUI)
  • Antonio Varsori (Università di Padova)

The Summer School was initiated by the Cold War Studies Programme at the London School of Economics (LSE), based on the model of the Annual Graduate Student conference run by the LSE, George Washington University and the University of California-Santa Barbara.
The European Summer School on Cold War History is currently one of the most important forums at which young academics in the field of cold war studies can present their work. It is intended principally for PhD students and recent PhD graduates and is structured around a series of workshops in each of which research papers on related themes are discussed.
The Summer School also offers participants the chance to discuss their work in a relaxed atmosphere, both in the workshops and in less formal sessions, designed to function as tutorials.
