The last decades brought important changes in history and historiography. Not only new approaches made headways, but sometimes old consensus of traditional fields was also questioned too. This process went hand in and with the questioning slow erosion of the self-evident national frame of historiography, a special challenge for historians of Central and Eastern Europe. At our conference, dedicated to Emil Niederhauser, born 100 years ago in Bratislava, whose work still defines Hungarian scholarship on the region and István Deák we inquire about how these developments influence narratives of the broader region, what kind of new narratives could emerge from the delegitimating of national narratives? How can we apply new trends born from the historiography of other regions, how these shift national histories or our vision of the whole region? Finally, how national narratives changed, especially regarding the resituating of the region and their national histories within?

We opted for a non-conventional format of six roundtables, each dedicated to a special sub-discipline and one keynote. The invited speakers and a moderator look at the developments on their own specific fields and their potential influence on the broader regional story. Discussion is at the focus of the conference, involving the audience as much as possible too.
