‘Genealogies of Memory’ is one of the flagship projects of the ENRS. The conference has been attended by dozens of scholars and researchers from around the world since its inception in 2011. Its goal is to facilitate intellectual exchange between scholars representing different fields related to memory and history, as well as to promote their work in the international academic environment. The 12th conference of the series is co-funded by the Minister of State for Culture and the Media (BKM) and the European Union. The conference encourages numerous publications. Selected lectures from past conferences have been included in the book series European Remembrance and Solidarity published by Routledge.
