Interest in history is strong and growing. The need for a deeper understanding of history is often highlighted, not least in debates on the role of schools and in the context of social issues at the heart of current political debate. The overall purpose 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, and thus increase 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 at the level of popular science but also accessible to non-specialist participants. For many history teachers, the History Days are the main opportunity for continuing education, especially in terms of reconnecting with the research community, and for historians, this forum is an opportunity to make new research results available. Several of the lectures are published in printed form.
