3. WEHC Announcement of the 2028 Congress
Perhaps the most important announcement of the 2025 General Assembly was the location of the 2028 World Economic History Congress, which will be held in Montevideo, Uruguay from 24-28 July, 2028. The Congress coincides with the 300th anniversary of Montevideo’s foundation. The Congress theme, unfortunately increasingly relevant, is World Powers and Conflicts. We are very excited to return to Latin America for the first time since the Buenos Aires Congress of 2002!
We will have two calls for sessions for this Congress. The first call is now open. Sessions proposals are due September 14, 2026, and can be submitted on the Congress website (https://wehcmontevideo2028.org/call-for-sessions/)
Call for bids for host cities – 2031 and beyond
We have also opened the call for bids for host cities for the World Economic History Congress. This will appear on the website shortly. We invite full bids for the 2031 Congress and expressions of preliminary interest for the 2034 Congress. Please see detailed call on website.
New contact information for IEHA Secretary General
As announced at the General Assembly, we will be phasing out the iehaofficial@gmail.com address as it attracts too much spam. We have a contact form on the IEHA website (https://www.ieha-wehc.org/contact/) or you can reach me on my LSE e-mail address.
