Name: CIII-HU-1306-01-1819 - Confessional and ethnic interactions in the Habsburg Monarchy
The countries of the participating universities were one state before, which was called Habsburg Monarchy. Within this state many ethnic and religious minorities lived together for nearly 400 years. Following the dissolution of the Monarchy the new, independent states started to analyse the ethnic and religious questions of this period separately, mainly focused on conflicts. Fortunately, in the last decade historians have started to highlight the different forms of symbiosis between these minorities and the way they influenced each other. We would like to use the advantages of the CEEPUS programme to spread this innovative direction of research and strengthen the cooperation between participating universities.
The aim of the CEEPUS network is to shed light on this symbiosis between the different ethnic and religious minorities and their strategies of conflict resolution, which contributes to the strengthening of Central European identity. Our goal is to help the future researchers, who are now PhD students or are in the final year of their Masters, to familiarize with the partners’ results and viewpoints in order to expand their knowledge.
