FINANCIAL SUPPORT
The WEHC 2012 Local Organising Committee is pleased to highlight the very generous support that the congress has received from the South African Treasury, Media 24, the Accountancy Department of the University of Johannesburg and the Dean of Economic and Management Sciences of Stellenbosch University, Professor Johann de Villiers. Other fundraising initiatives are currently underway but without the generous support received thus far, the staging of this congress would not be possible.
“ON THE STATUS AND THE FUTURE OF ECONOMIC HISTORY IN THE WORLD”Jörg Baten and Julia Muschallik’s study of the first initiative to estimate the extent of the field of economic history is available for download here. It is of particular interest to the WEHC 2012 Local Organising Committee because it includes a forecast of world congress participation in 2012. With your support we hope to meet and even exceed this forecast! CALL FOR POSTERS Don’t forget that WEHC 2012 also includes a Call for Posters. This presents a great opportunity for young researchers in the field to showcase work to an international audience. The deadline for submissions is 1 March 2012.
