About the Institute

The Institute for Early Modern History is a research alliance linking historians of the Early Modern Period from Ghent University with those from the Vrije Universiteit Brussel. The study of the transformational processes marking the beginning and end of the period, and developments in specific social areas across the era, forms the common thread in members' investigations. More detailed information regarding the institute's research objectives can be found in the mission statement.
 
The institute regularly organizes scientific gatherings and acts as a forum for the Ph.D. students of Early Modern history at Ghent University and the Vrije Universiteit Brussel.
