  1. To provide a forum for academic discussion and initiatives leading to major events investigating transnational links and comparisons between past societies, such as international conferences (i.e., ‘1916 in Global Context: Connections and Comparisons‘, International Conference held at the Moore Institute, NUI Galway, on 16th-17th June 2016).
