7th World Congress of ICCEES in Berlin, Germany

The 7th World Congress of ICCEES with the topic "Europe - Our Common Home?" was held in Berlin, Germany, at the Humboldt University, July 25th - 30th 2005. It was organized by the DGO (Deutsche Gesellschaft für Osteuropakunde e.V.) under the direction of Professor Thomas Bremer of the Westfälische Wilhelms-Universität in Münster. 
The conference focused on the integration of the ten new member states of the European Union and on the prospects of the continent 15 years after the change of the political systems. In view of the current financial and constitutional problems, the conference dealt with the following questions: To what extend is the idea of a "common house of Europe" realised? What are the new commonly shared characteristics and values in Europe? What are the differences and parting lines emerging from the new situation?
