The Scientific Committee of the International Conference on Risk and Insurance in History (ICRIH) has issued a call for proposals to organize and host the next edition of the conference in the summer of 2028 or, at the latest, 2029.
Since its inaugural meeting in Seville in 2019, followed by conferences in Basel (2022) and Warsaw (2025), the ICRIH has established itself as a major interdisciplinary forum for scholars working on the historical and long-term dimensions of risk and insurance. Previous editions brought together researchers from across the world and covered topics ranging from marine insurance and maritime law, insurance and the Atlantic slave trade, and micro-insurance, to modern financial instruments and alternative risk transfer mechanisms.
The Scientific Committee invites proposals from institutions interested in hosting the next conference. The selected organizing committee will work closely with the Scientific Committee, which will provide support regarding conference structure, call for papers, keynote speakers, paper evaluation, awards, and fundraising. A dedicated conference website is also being developed by the University of Basel.
The ICRIH welcomes interdisciplinary engagement from fields including economic, business, financial, legal, social, and cultural history, as well as economics, sociology, anthropology, management studies, and legal studies. The conference has also traditionally included participation from professionals in the insurance industry alongside established and early-career researchers.
The Scientific Committee of the ICRIH consists of: Lars Fredrick Andresson (Sweden), Gustavo de Angel (Mexico), Sabine Go (Netherlands), Phillip Hellwege (Germany), Sebastian Kohl (Germany), Jean Kwon (USA), Martin Lengwiler (Switzerland), Jeronia Pons (Spain), and Grietjie Verhoef (South Africa).
Hosting proposals and enquiries should be addressed to: Prof. Robin Pearson, Professor Emeritus of Economic History, University of Hull (UK)
