I was lucky enough to get funding from this grant to attend the ICHRPI conference in Paris, 2022 & can confirm it’s an excellent opportunity! It allows for travel abroad to an exciting international event which would otherwise be unaffordable for many (esp PGRs & ECRs)

As the year draws to a close, we at #ICHRPI look forward to our annual conference next year, which will be held in Sibiu, Romania from 2-5 September 2025. See below for further details: ichrpi.info/conference/

One for our members plus anyone interested in early modern representative assemblies & political thought. Congrats on publication @PKewes!
