International Research Network of Young Historians
of European Integration (RICHIE)

RICHIE Network: Partnerships

RICHIE has given itself the aim of facilitating contacts between young researchers of European history, and this throughout the continent. In this perspective, we are developing partnerships with associations that have similar goals. They are, for the moment:

• HEIRS (History of European Integration Research Society): HEIRS is a postgraduate research network designed to foster collaboration among postgraduate researchers across Europe with an interest in European integration history. It aims to provide academic exchange, training and learning programmes which build on the work of existing academic institutions and bodies in the field, and draw in a wide range of postgraduate students to focus on the political, diplomatic, economic, cultural and other aspects of European integration.

• RETE (Réseau des Étudiants pour l'Europe de l'Institut des Hautes Études Européennes): RETE is an association founded in November 2006 by a group of students and professors of the "Institut des Hautes Études Européennes" (IHEE) of Robert Schuman University (Strasbourg III). The RETE Association aims to reinforce the internal links of the universities of the EU, opening to researchers, teachers and public and private higher education institutions an institutionalised crossroad where particular interests can be developed together, with the aim to push forward the interest of the community.

• A group of PhD students from the International History Department of the LSE (London School of Economics) have created an online guide to archives throughout the world (http://www.archivesmadeeasy.org). We strongly encourage all researchers to consult this site and contribute to its growth, either by adding new and more up to date information, or by adding new reports to the database!
