History Education Dissertation Prize

The International Society for History Didactics is pleased to announce the launch of a new History Education Dissertation Prize, in partnership with our partners: The EUROCLIO, the Centre for Historical Culture at Erasmus University Rotterdam, IRAHSSE, and HEIRNET. Through this award, we want to recognize the value of research for the advancement of teaching and learning history, and promote its use by educators, reducing the gap between academic research and practice. For further details, please visit the site of the Prize in the “News” section of the Euroclio (https://euroclio.eu/)

Update from 2 February, 2026:

Up to 29 submissions arrived for the History Education Dissertation Prize which will be announced during the forthcoming EuroClio Conference in Brussels in April 2026. The evaluation has just started and by February 15 the best three candidates should be announced. Shortlisted dissertations will be presented in a form of a visual story, and the participants of the EuroClio conference will vote on the best of them.
