Since the Lutetia Parisiorum, the city crossed the centuries, carving episodes of prosperity, intellectual leadership and military glory, but also of popular uprisings, radical change, revolutions, and darker chapters, throughout which, as its coat of arms declares, Paris “fluctuat nec mergitur”. Visiting Paris is stepping in the multiple layers of its memory, present in the streets, urban landscapes, monuments and museums. Visiting Paris in September provides the privilege of participating in the effervescent annual start of the new cultural scene.Hosting institutions:The “Conservatoire National des Arts et Métiers” (CNAM), University Paris- Dauphine, and Skema Business School are honoured to host together the tenth Accounting History International Conference (10AHIC). CNAM was established in 1794, with the mission of providing education for promoting science and industry. The University Paris-Dauphine was created in 1968, and it was the first (French) university to provide education in the field of organisation sciences. It is today the university that delivers the highest number of doctoral degrees in management sciences, in France. SKEMA Business School was founded in 2009 as a result of the merger between Ecole Supérieure de Commerce, Lille (established in 1892), and CERAM Business School, Sophia Antipolis (established in 1963). Since its inception, SKEMA has become a global school with a multi-campus structure (Lille, Paris La Défense and Sophia Antipolis in France, Suzhou in China, Raleigh in the USA, and Belo Horizonte in Brazil), offering a large portfolio of programmes.Local Steering Committee:Didier Bensadon, University Paris-Dauphine/PSLLaurence Morgana, CNAMRaluca Sandu, SKEMAHenri Zimnovitch, CNAM (Conference Convener)Further information about visiting Paris can be found at: https://en.parisinfo.com/Further information about the hosting institutions can be found at: http://www.cnam.eu/site-en/http://www.dauphine.fr/en/welcome.htmlhttp://www.skema.edu/
