On 30 June and 1 July 2022, the Posthumus Conference 2022 will be hosted by the Erasmus School of History, Culture and Communication of Erasmus University Rotterdam. This year's theme will be 'Humanomics', with the keynote lecture by Professor Deirdre McCloskey. The conference website has just been launched at https://posthumusconference.org.

We are looking forward to meet you all at this event, where the Posthumus PhD students will present their research findings and our Research Networks will organise several interesting sessions on their respective fields of expertise.

The Posthumus Conference will be on-site this year and is open to all interested. There is no conference fee, but for logistic and catering reasons, registration via the conference website is however required. In the rare case the number of registrants exceeds the limits set by accommodations, preference will be given to Posthumus students and fellows.
