EAUH (European Association of Urban History) Antwerp Postponed to 2022

The International Committee of the EAUH and the local organizing committee of the Antwerp Conference have sadly come to the conclusion that organizing the Antwerp Conference in the beginning of September this year would under current corona circumstances constitute too great a risk. The current situation of the pandemic in Europe and beyond is still very much unclear, the pace of the vaccination programmes are uneven, adding to the inequalities worldwide, and it is not clear if the corona measures of the Belgian government and of the University of Antwerp itself will be completely lifted by that time. Many of the mass events (and our conference is ranked as such an event) organised in Belgium have either been cancelled or have been postponed until late September. Because of logistical reasons and the limited capacity of the conference rooms we cannot adapt to any of the social distancing requirements, and the conference can therefore only be organised if all containing measures are lifted.

For all these reasons the International Committee has decided to postpone once again the 15^th EAUH Conference with one year, to Wednesday 31 August – Saturday 3 September 2022, to be held as scheduled at the University of Antwerp. Because of the Committee’s earlier decision to hold the 16^th Conference only in 2024, we will return in this way to the normal two year rhythm.
