The Caen Memorial, an iconic site in Normandy, is dedicated to the memory of the 20th century and to Peace. From the origins of the Second World War to the end of the Cold War, the museographical tours, interactive exhibitions and moving testimonies recall the key events that form the basis of our history today.
Inaugurated in 1988 by the President of the French Republic, François Mitterrand, the Memorial is now one of the most important centres for contemporary history in Europe.
The available places are reserved only for those who have registered for the event. To register, you will need to send an email confirming your attendance to the following addresses: annie.delanghe@univ-amu.fr hakim.hdouch@univ-amu.fr

L’Abbaye aux Hommes, also known as the Abbey of Saint-Etienne, is one of Normandy’s historic jewels. Founded around 1060 by William the Conqueror in Caen, it now shelters his tomb. Since the 1960s, the monastic buildings adjoining the abbey have become the headquarters of the town hall.
Together with the recently restored Place Saint-Sauveur, the Abbey forms a unique heritage site in the heart of Caen.
A prize-giving ceremony will be organised following the participants’ votes. The “public vote” prize and the “young talent” prize will be awarded to the cases represented at the conferences on the first day.
