conference
ICHS (International Committee of Historical Sciences) is the world’s leading organization for historians. Every five years, the organization convenes an international congress attended by approximately three thousand historians from around the world to discuss current issues and developments in historical research. The congress aims, among other things, to promote international scholarly collaboration.
The Historical Society of Israel serves as the liaison between the organization and scholars in Israel, supporting the participation of Israeli historians in the global academic discourse on history. At the conference held in August 2022 in Poznań, Poland, the International Association of Jewish Historical Societies and the Historical Society of Israel organized two sessions on Jewish history, chaired by Professor Shmuel Feiner, Chair of the Historical Society of Israel, Professor Israel Bartal, and other leading scholars.
We are pleased to announce that the Historical Society of Israel has been selected to host the 24th ICHS Congress in 2026 in Jerusalem. Hosting the Congress in Israel reflects international recognition of Israel’s important role in historical scholarship and provides a rare opportunity for historians from around the world to engage directly with the history of Jerusalem and the Jewish people.
