International Council for Central and East European Studies
The International Council for Central and East European Studies (ICCEES) is an international network of researchers in the field of Russian, Central and East European studies.
History
[edit]The ICCEES was founded as International Committee for Soviet and East European Studies (ICSEES) in September 1974 at a conference in Banff in Canada by the British Universities Association of Slavists (BUAS), the National Association for Soviet and East European Studies (NASEES), the American Association for the Advancement of Slavic Studies (AAASS), and the Canadian Association of Slavists (CAS).[1]
By 1978, the programme committee invited individual scholars from the Eastern Bloc to participate in the ICCEES's world congress of 1980, while asking for support from the academies of sciences in respective countries. The consultation visit of a delegation from the Soviet Academy of Sciences to West Germany in the spring of 1980 failed to establish common ground and the academic institutions of the Soviet bloc subsequently announced their refusal to join the congress. 18 scholars from Yugoslavia, Poland, China, Romania, and Hungary attended in contravention of the boycott.[1]

Activities
[edit]The ICCEES's chief activities are a biannual newsletter as well as a congress organized every five years.
The ICCEES's International Information Centre, which publishes the biannual International Newsletter, was established at the University of Glasgow in 1975 through a grant from the Ford Foundation. It later received support from the Volkswagen Foundation, the French Ministry of External Relations (1984–1986), the Bank of Sweden Tercentenary Foundation, and the Sasakawa Peace Foundation of Japan.[1]
There have been ten world congresses of the ICCEES as of 2025: in Banff (1974), Garmisch-Partenkirchen (1980), Washington, D.C. (1985), Harrogate (1990), Warsaw (1995), Tampere (2000), Berlin (2005), Stockholm (2010), Makuhari (2015) and Montreal (2021).[5]
Archives
[edit]There is an International Council for Central and East European Studies fonds at Library and Archives Canada.[6] The archival reference number is R3997.[7]
Notes
[edit]- ^ The organisation was created in January 2025 through a merger of the Australasian Association for Communist and Post-communist Studies or AACaPS, itself a successor of the Australasian Association for the Study of Socialist Countries founded in 1975, and the Australia and New Zealand Slavists' Association or ANZSA, founded in 1967.[2]
