Debuted in 2013, CHAM International Conference is a result of the board’s desire to organise a major international scientific event to present and discuss the themes focused by this Centre’s research groups.

In addition to gather hundreds of national and foreign experts, the conference also aims to provide access to young researchers. CHAM intends to make this event a significant biennial conference – involving over 200 participants and 20 thematic panels – that stands as a forum for discussion acknowledged worldwide and as a valuable opportunity to disclose the results of the historical research made on topics such as globalisation and interculturalism.
