The Trianon 100 Momentum Research Group of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences and the Chair of Dutch Studies of the Faculty of Humanities at Eötvös Loránd University is organizing a conference, to be held on 9-10 November, 2018 in Budapest with the aim of assessing the state of the art, explore new vistas and perspectives for research with regard to research into post-World War I refugees, forced and voluntary migrant and refugee integration. The aim of the conference is to survey and summarize accumulated findings in this subfield of historical research.

Our colleague and fellow research group member, Csaba Zahorán spent late November and early December in Transylvania, Romania, where he had a chance to observe the December 1 commemorations in conjunction with research he is conducting. (It was on December 1, 1918 that a large popular assembly in Alba Iulia /Gyulafehérvár/, composed of Transylvanian Romanians, declared its intention to achieve unification with Romania, and the anniversary of this assembly has been celebrated as the national day of Romania since 1990.)
