Most of them were persecuted victims of the different military regimes. During the 1980s, under the presidency of the Cuban historian Francisco Pividal Padrón, national sections of the ADHILAC were created. Besides the foundation conference in Mexico City, the ADHILAC organised other nine international conferences in Caracas (1977 and 2007), Quito (1981), Bayamo (1983), São Paulo (1990), Querétaro (1994), Pontevedra (2001), Santa Marta (2009), and Santo Domingo (2011). “The Congress of Vienna and its Global Dimension” will be the second international ADHILAC conference taking place outside of Latin America. http://adhilac.com.ar/ Faculty of Historical and Cultural Studies, University of Vienna CO-CONVENOR The University of Vienna, or Alma Mater Rudolphina Vindobonensis, was founded by Duke Rudolph IV in 1365.
