The first five years of its existence were rich in projects, publications, and events that contributed to establishing the centre as a national reference for research, teaching, and critical debate on the contemporary history of Luxembourg. At the international level, the C²DH has established itself as a global platform for reflection, experimentation, and development in the field of digital history and historiography.
