Forum Z
ForumZ (Z pour Zeitgeschichte, histoire contemporaine) sert de plate-forme publique pour un débat critique et ouvert sur des questions actuelles en matière d’histoire contemporaine luxembourgeoise et européenne. Tout citoyen intéressé est invité à se joindre aux experts pour discuter de thèmes choisis, de nouvelles approches et de nouvelles sources en histoire contemporaine. ForumZ porte l’histoire hors des murs de l’université et dans le domaine public.
