Each year the VRCME holds an annual conference. One year it is held in Canada, at Wilfrid Laurier University and the following year in Europe. In addition, the session hosts and organizes smaller workshops that focus on a specialized theme.

The broad theme of our Annual Conference is always Developments in Europe and subsections may focus on more specific socio-economic dimensions.

As the conference theme changes from year to year please consult the latest call for papers for further information.

If anyone is interested in presenting a paper or organizing a special session they are asked to contact the Director.
