Conferences and Events

The PHP has organized several international conferences on a wide range of security aspects during the Cold War including threat perceptions and military planning, intelligence, alliance management within NATO and the Warsaw Pact, and security and cooperation in Europe. Besides academic conferences, the events have included critical oral history conferences with witnesses of the time. Edited volumes resulting from the conferences are included in the “List of Books.” Conference reports are available on the website.

We invite our partners and associates to promote their conferences and events to our international user group. If you would like to feature your event on the PHP website, please contact the php-team.
