Posthumus Research ProgrammesThis programme brings together Dutch and Flemish scholars working on different aspects of the economy and society of the Low Countries between 1300 and 1850. The ambition is to introduce more emphasis on comparative research that identifies differences and commonalities both with surrounding countries and regions, and within the Low Countries.
The program aims to enhance inter-university research cooperation between economic, technology and business historians (and other interested scholars) working on globalisation in the Flemish-Dutch research community.
The programme People, Space & Places in History focuses on the spatial dimensions of human life in the field of ecology, institutions, social behaviour, economy, and culture from a historical and comparative perspective.
This programme addresses the developments in population and family from the early modern age until the present.
The Social History of Communities is a Flemish-Dutch research programme that brings together scholars working on the broad field of the social history of communities. The programme seeks the fruitful academic interactions between senior academic staff, postdoc researchers and Ph.D. students from and outside the Netherlands.
