"The Transformation of the World Steel Industry from the Twentieth Century to the Present" aims to examine the transformations that have occurred in all areas of the industry, encouraging a multidisciplinary and comparative reflection about the origins and forms of those changes. The approach will be essentially historical, but the conference is also open to other disciplines such as geography, economics, business administration, sociology, and engineering. Supported by the Association Internationale d'Histoire Contemporaine de l'Europe (AIHCE), the conference is divided into two parts differing in terms of orientation, dates, and location. Presentations will be in French or English, without translation, according to the speaker’s choice.
The first part of the symposium, which will take place May 24-25, 2012, in Le Creusot (home of the Académie François Bourdon), will deal with global questions, whereas the second part, taking place September 13-14, 2012, in Luxembourg, will focus more specifically on the European dimension. The results of both sessions will be published in the conference proceedings.
Proposals for papers, either in French or in English , should not exceed 2,000-2,500 characters. Proposals can be made specifically to one of the two sessions, or left to the judgement of the Scientific Committee. An electronic copy and a CV must be sent to the following three addresses no later than September 1, 2011:
