Become a Member of ENIUGH

The European Network in Universal and Global History (ENIUGH) was founded in 2002 by transforming the Karl-Lamprecht-Gesellschaft  e.V. into an international organisation based on German legislation for non-profit associations. ENIUGH promotes research and teaching in world and global history, especially among scholars based in Europe. It was formed to answer the demand for efficient cooperation in this field. As a multilingual platform of communication it has become an important channel for scientific exchange within Europe, while offering many opportunities to connect with colleagues from other world regions. Building on the long tradition of world history writing in Europe, ENIUGH serves as a forum for the multiplicity of topical and methodological approaches to the study of past and current processes of cross-cultural interaction and entanglements in contemporary historical and interdisciplinary scholarship. The network advocates the transcending of former Eurocentric, teleological and universalist assumptions, thus seeking to help “provincialise“ the continent’s past within a global perspective. It is engaged in strengthening the linkages between the manifold institutions in Europe that contribute to a better understanding of the historicity of today’s globally integrated world.

ENIUGH welcomes all who are engaged in transcending national history and invites active membership as well as contributions to its publications and events. The benefits of ENIUGH membership include:

  • automatic subscription to ENIUGH’s journal COMPARATIV and a reduced rate for the subscription of the Journal of Global History
  • regular e-mail announcements of upcoming conferences, seminars and research funding opportunities in global, world and transnational history
  • reduced registration fees for the ENIUGH congresses
