The International Students of History Association was founded in 1990 as an independent, student-run organization. Our aim is to make it easier for students from different parts of Europe and the world to meet each other and exchange ideas.

ISHA believes that international perspectives constitute an important part of every student's education. Membership is open for students (undergraduate through PhD) from all disciplines and backgrounds with an interest in history and historical science.

ISHA is best understood by participating in one of its events. Each year, our members organize various weeklong seminars and a large annual conference, which cover a multitude of topics and take place in many different countries. Our meetings combine academic, cultural and social activities.
