Editors’ trip to Germany 2016: “History and Questions of Faith”
19-25 September 2016
In 2008 the German Publishers’ Association together with partner organizations started
Geisteswissenschaften International (Translation Funding for Works in the Humanities and Social
Sciences). In order to promote interesting German books and authors in these fields internationally and
give editors and publishers from India the chance to look for appealing academic work themselves, the
German Historical Association and Geisteswissenschaften International cordially invite editors and
publishers to participate in this year’s German Historians Conference.
“Questions of Faith” is this year’s leading theme for discussions of historians from 20 different nations.
India’s central meaning in cross-cultural debates is reflected by its status as Guest of Honour of this in
Europe. The Indian editors will meet German and international historians, take part in different sections
held in English and are invited to individual talks to publishers and authors.
After visiting the Historians Day in Hamburg, participants will have the chance to go to Berlin for two more
days. On the invitation of the German Foreign Office and the Goethe-Institut, the group is going to meet
representatives of cultural institutions in Germany’s capital.
WHAT THIS TRIP INCLUDES
A fully organized trip to meet with German publishers and international authors of History books. You
will be part of Europe’s largest humanities’ conference and get to gain invaluable insights into this
segment of the German book market while exchanging ideas, new concepts and negotiating rights.
