The overall aim of the Swedish History Days is to encourage contacts and exchanges between professionals from different professions related to the subject of history, and history enthusiasts in general, thereby increasing the historical knowledge of as many groups in society as possible. The ambition is therefore to present historical topics and historical research in a way that is popular science but also accessible to non-specialist participants. For many history teachers, the History Days are the primary opportunity for continuing education, particularly in terms of reconnecting with the research community, and for professional historians this forum is an opportunity to make new research results available. Many of the lectures are published in print.
