Call for Bids for The Making of the Humanities conference 2026

Deadline: October 6, 2024

Dear colleagues,

We are looking forward to seeing you in October 2024 at the 11th Making of the Humanities (MOH) conference in Lund.
It is now time to consider the host for the 12th Making of the Humanities conference in 2026. Therefore, we are opening the call for bids to host the conference.
To submit a bid, please provide a brief and informal description of the city where the conference will take place. This should include a description of the available facilities (the proposed conference venue, including lecture halls, hotel accommodation options, etc.). Finally, provide the expected budget with preliminary estimations of conference fees and expenses. Please keep in mind that it is important to keep the registration fees as low as possible.
The Society for the History of the Humanities (SHOH) board will select the winning bid together with the Board of Events (BoE) of SHOH by October 10, 2024. The winning bid will be announced at the business meeting of the Making of the Humanities conference in Lund this year.
Please send your bid proposal to the historyofhumanities@uva.nl by October 6, 2024, with the MOH conference 2026 bid in the subject line.


CRITERIA FOR EVALUATING PROPOSALS

The SHOH board will use the following criteria in evaluating proposals:
Conference organizers
Have they been active and contributing members of the SHOH?
Does the bidding team have experience with conference organizing?
Is there a local academic institution providing support for the conference?
City
Is the proposed city attractive and accessible for SHOH members?
How convenient and affordable is travel for both domestic and international participants?
Facilities
Are the meeting facilities appropriate and convenient?
Is inexpensive housing available for delegates with limited budgets?
Are there appealing sites or opportunities for special events (e.g. the conference dinner)?
Finances
Does the proposed rough budget seem realistic?
Do the organizers have a tentative plan for raising additional local resources and funding, if necessary?
