The thirty-fourth annual ASEN conference takes place on the banks of the Danube at Central European University’s Budapest campus from 23rd to 25th April, 2025 on nationalism and borders.

The conference schedule is out now!

We still have a few spaces left for the conference dinner.

Attendance certificates are available.

There can be few venues more fitting than the former heart of the Habsburg Empire for a conference on nationalism and borders. 2025 also marks the one hundredth anniversary of the birth of the great theorist of nationalism and founder of the department of nationalism studies at CEU, Ernest Gellner. We are proud to be holding the biennial Gellner Lecture with the department he founded.
