The 13th EBHA Franco Amatori Summer School took place from 6 to 11 September 2026 at the Fondation Maison de Salins. Fifteen students had the opportunity to present and discuss their dissertation projects with an outstanding group of faculty members.
The discussions were lively, thorough, and highly engaging, with excellent interaction among students and faculty throughout the week.
Our congratulations and sincere thanks go to Éric Godelier, Pierre-Antoine Dessaux, and our colleagues at the Fondation Maison de Salins for being such gracious hosts. We are also very grateful to all the faculty members for taking the time to participate despite their busy schedules, and to the students for their active engagement and thoughtful contributions.
It was a great week of discussion, exchange, and learning. We look forward to the next edition!
