Dear all,
We hope you had a wonderful Summer and are happy to resume our monthly newsletters of the America2026 program–and we are back with a bang: AMERICA 2026 is now fully-funded!!!
The AMERICA 2026 team is very pleased to inform all our friends and partners that we have been awarded the funding we competed for by the prestigious Agence Nationale de la Recherche in France for 2024-2027. Our program running up to and past our Paris Conference in the summer of 2026 will include two conferences per year until 2026, a series of journal and book publications, a museum exhibition and a new interactive website which will contain information and resources about the American Revolution in Europe, a record of
our collective work within the programme, a virtual exhibition, and much more. We cannot wait to get started. Keep reading us monthly for information regarding upcoming events by AMERICA 2026 and its many partners.
