When 1,200 researchers from 60 countries arrived at the end of July, it marked a milestone: the largest academic congress ever held in the city – and the most important event in the field of economic history worldwide. For one week, the World Economic History Congress (WEHC) transformed Lund into a hub for ideas, networking, and public engagement.
