<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:"Garamond","serif"" lang="EN-US">The European Information and Research Network on Parliamentary History (EuParl.net) has previously organized international conferences on ‘The
Europe of Parliaments’ in Paris in 2012 and on ‘The Ideal Parliament’ in The Hague in 2013 (see
<a href="https://euparl.net" target="_blank">https://euparl.net</a>). In its third international conference, EuParl.net invites experts on European parliamentary studies from various academic fields to present, discuss and rethink their latest methodological
approaches. Special attention will be paid to anthropological, discourse analytical and oral approaches to parliamentary institutions as well as to the implications of the digitization of parliamentary records for research on parliaments. While individual
papers may focus on one national parliament and on a limited historical period, comparative and transnational approaches are encouraged, and most papers are likely to address the common European tradition of parliamentary government, or government by discussion,
in a way or another. This evolving tradition will play a key role also when European societies face future challenges as democratic, participatory, deliberating and innovative societies.
</span><span><u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:"Garamond","serif"" lang="EN-US">While providing an update on current approaches to anthropological, discourse-oriented, oral and digital parliamentary research, the conference
aims at developing these methods further so that they could to better serve academic research in parliamentary history and related fields. It is expected to give rise to a collected volume on current methodologies in parliamentary studies. Furthermore, the
conference and EuParl.net at large aim at increasing understanding of the significance of parliamentary traditions among the European publics at national and international levels.
