ESTER organizes research training in the form of both the annual Research Design Course for starting PhD-students and a series of Ad-vanced Seminars on special themes within economic and social history.
"F. Datini" International Institute of Economic History was founded in 1968 by Federigo Melis and Fernand Braudel. The aim of the Institute is the study of pre-industrial economic history (thirteenth-eighteenth centuries) and the creation on the topic of a space for historical culture, making comparison between different methodologies and schools of research easier and supporting young scholars during their formative years.

Theme
The topic of the Datini-Ester seminar is closely related to the theme of the congress yearly organized by the "F. Datini" International Institute of Economic History and devoted in 2024 to Social Mobility in pre-industrial societies: tendencies, causes and effects (13th-18th centuries). The 2024 Datini-Ester seminar will deal with Social and geographic mobility. We particularly welcome papers on social and socio-economic mobility (both upward and downward) in different historical contexts, as well as on geographic mobility, that is migration (short- or long-distance). As is well known, across human history geographic mobility has often played a major role in shaping patterns of socio-economic mobility. Our purpose is to clarify the determinants, the extent and the final consequences of mobility in different periods, across entire societies or regarding specific social groups. Papers can cover any relevant aspect and any period from Antiquity until today.
