In May 2007 the Standing Committee for the Humanities (HUM (formerly SCH)) convened a three-day-workshop inviting 21 young scholars from accross Europe and accross various fields of the Humanities and neighbouring areas of research to debate under the title: "Disciplines and Boarders: Humanities research in an age of interdisciplinarity" the future of the Humanities. All scholars have been selected after a call for proposals in a competition in which they had to show that they could develop perspectives for the Humanities at large, beyond their fields of expertise.
The outcome was "In varietate concordia" a manifesto for the Humanities in Europe that also includes the list of participants and authors.
