The Summer School
The 13th EBHA Franco Amatori Doctoral Summer School (2026), organized by the European Business History Association (EBHA) and the French Business History Association (AFHE), with the support of the Fondation Maison de Salins, will take place in Salins-les-Bains (Jura, France), from 6 to 11 September 2026.
The summer school will focus on the theme “Transitions and Variety of Business Organizations in European Capitalism.”
The summer school is designed for doctoral students in business history and related fields who wish to deepen their engagement with current theoretical, methodological, and empirical debates. It provides an intensive and collegial environment in which participants can present their research projects, receive structured feedback from leading international scholars, and engage in discussion with peers from across Europe and beyond.
The program combines faculty lectures and seminars with student presentations. Each participant will present their dissertation project, outlining research questions, methodology, sources, challenges, and preliminary findings. Discussions are intended to foster constructive feedback and scholarly exchange.
