1st MMHN Conference (Valletta, Malta 2002)
A first conference, held in Valletta, Malta, in April 2002, brought together more than thirty researchers from Britain, France, Germany, Greece, Israel, Italy, Spain, Tunisia and Malta, and was particularly useful as a meeting place for researchers from the French and English speaking worlds. Indeed, with the benefit of hindsight, one could say that it constituted an informal, regional pre-conference for the Fourth Maritime History Congress held in Corfu in 2004.
2nd MMHN Conference (Messina/Taormina, Italy 2006)
The 2nd MMHN Conference, organized at Messina and Taormina, in Sicily in May 2006, brought together nearly 100 papers on a wide range of topics relating to the maritime history of the Mediterranean by scholars from Australia, Belgium, Cyprus, France, Greece, Israel, Italy, Malta, the Netherlands, Spain, Tunisia, Turkey, the United Kingdom, and the United States. The event was characterized by the participation of many up-and-coming young researchers and impeccable hospitality from Professor Michela D'Angelo and her team.
3rd MMHN Conference (Izmir, Turkey 2010)
The MMHN General Meeting held at Taormina decided to accept the offer made by the Izmir University of Economics of Izmir, Turkey to host our next conference in that historic city. Our hosts have kindly undertaken to "secure sponsorship and other support which will minimize the financial outlay of participants" as well as organize visits to places of archaeological and historical interest in Izmir and the surrounding area.
