Welcome to the Interest Groups Page
Welcome to our virtual research hub. Our aim is to help EAHN members find, and collaborate with, scholars working on similar themes and topics within the Network. This space hosts a range of collaborative activities such as group discussion, sharing news and documents, and organizing events and projects.
Interest Groups are encouraged to:
– arrange side events at Biennial Conferences and to propose an EAHN Themed Conference in intermediate years.
– contribute annually to a new dedicated Field Notes section of the EAHN Journal Architectural Histories.
– apply for third-party funding, which is increasingly available for cross-institutional, international teams of researchers.
Side Events at Biennial Conferences
At each biennial conference, the EAHN interest groups are given the opportunity to hold meetings which can range from brainstorming sessions or business meetings to more planned workshops. They are open to all conference participants and meant to carry forward the EAHN’s mission to be an open, non-hierarchical and welcoming network. You can find short reports on the events held in Tallinn 2018 here.
Group Guidelines
We welcome proposals for new Interest Groups, please see guidelines for group coordinators here.
For more details about these activities, or to propose a new Interest Group, please email interestgroups@eahn.org.
