Introduction and Purpose of this Blog

The purpose of this blog is to gather information and to discuss “threats to history” mainly in the university sector across Europe. The initiative to this work comes from the organisation “CLIOHnet2“, an EU-funded body with representatives from some 100 universities in Europe. The organisation includes representatives both from EU universities and from members of the EEA and from parts of Europe that wish to join the EU. The topics we have chosen to discuss come from our discussions at two meetings over the last year and these have been chosen to make it posssible to edit this blog to create a final report on the challenges and threats that teachers of history in European universities face in 2007-2008. The final editing will be done in June 2008.  Participation in the Blog is not limited to representative of Cliohnet2: Anyone is welcome to contribute and I hope you will feel inspired to do so.
