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.
