Participants of the first event of the project Working out the curriculum of a joint MA programme ’Microhistory’, financed by Tempus Public Foundation (partners: Eötvös University, Budapest, the University of Iceland (Reykajvík), Volda Unversity College (Norway) and the Reykjavík Academy (Iceland)), the workshop that took place in Budapest between 25 and 27 September 2015, suggested the establishment of a network that can serve as a basis for a future cooperation aimed at establising an MA programme ’Microhistory’. We shall call this workgroup MICRO and other members of the Microhistory Network are also cordially invited to join in this work. Members. — September 2017: As the University of Iceland, that had been in the centre of the efforts to establish and accredit an English-language MA in Microhistory, decided recently that these attempts are not realistic, the activities of the Workgroup MICRO are suspended – in the hope that someone will soon raise this banner again.
