The historical event (Το γεγονός) is the keystone, that connects History/Historiography with social sciences and humanities studies . In a different way we could say that a fact is interwoven with the theory, the interpreted event through quantitative and discursive methodologies. It carries the concept of the accomplished event that the various aggressive definitions fleetingly contain social, cultural, political, economic. It transforms the infrastructure and social relations. Based on the above, the title of the journal, is not just a statement, however it constitutes a description of the historical event as a product, that is not natural or artificial but historical, which this digital edition aspires to appoint.

The  open-access recurrent digital edition of the MSc “Historical Research, Teaching and New Technologies” and the Educational Innovation Lab of the Department of History and Digital Humanities of the Ionian University, forms a mean scientific dialogue, criticism and communication. The publication of “The historical event” aspires to fulfill the absence of a journal in which will be contain original contributions, mainly from young researchers.

“The historical event”  will include studies related to History, Teaching, and New Technologies. It will also accept articles on the humanities and social sciences more broadly, as well as contemporary digital tools in research and teaching. The journal will also publish reviews of recently works.
