William III: Politics and Culture in international context |
|
On 13 and 14 December 2002 the Research Institute for History and Culture of the
University of Utrecht organised a conference, chaired by professor Simon Groenveld,
on the King-Stadholder, entitled 'William III: Politics and Culture in international context'.
The aim of the conference was to further our understanding
of the significance of the King-Stadholder in his international context. This event brought together scholars from England, Scotland,
France, Germany, the United States and The Netherlands who
have been conducting innovative research on the period or
who work in areas, which have received less attention. The conference provided an opportunity for both established scholars and
postgraduate students to meet and get familiarised with each
other’s work. The programme had four sections: politics, international affairs, intellectual life and culture in general. The organisation aims to publish a volume of essays based on topics emerging from this conference. More details on publication will follow shortly on this site An excursion to Castle Middachten was organised. |  |
