CCGES is pleased to be able to welcome Prof. Dr. Jaroslav Pánek, Vice-President of the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic, to the Centre for a talk on November 8th. Prof. Dr. Pánek is a distinguished scholar of Czech and Early Modern European History (16th-18th centuries) and a Full Professor at Prague’s Charles University.

For his talk at the Centre, Prof. Dr. Pánek will reflect on the role Central European historians are playing in a unified Europe, a subject which has no doubt been informed by his extensive international experience at universities throughout Europe as well as in the USA and Taiwan.

He was (and still is) the editor-in-chief or co-editor of leading scientific journals, such as: Folia Historica Bohemica (1990-2004), Historica. Historical Sciences in the Czech Republic (since 1994), and since 2000 Èeský èasopis historický (Czech Historical Review). He was the national editor of the international yearbook Scholars of Early Modern Studies (1989-2000), a member of the international editorial boards of Central Europe (London), Historický èasopis (Historical Journal) (Bratislava) and Österreichische Osthefte (Vienna). In the years 1996-2002, he was Chairman of the state professional organisation Association of Historians of the Czech Republic, and since 2002 he has been Chairman of the Czech National Committee of Historians.
