Journée de l’histoire contemporaine 2026

The 2026 edition of the Dag van de Nieuwste Geschiedenis – Journée de l’Histoire Contemporaine, organised by the Belgische Vereniging voor Nieuwste Geschiedenis – Association belge d’Histoire contemporaine BVNG-ABHC and the University of Antwerp, aims to focus on the use of Artificial Intelligence in (Belgian) historical research, heritage management, and education, and to provide a forum for exploring the opportunities, risks, and challenges of AI within the Belgian historical landscape by inviting contributions that approach these developments critically, empirically, and/or pedagogically.
