The 26th International Congress of History of Science and Technology will be held in Prague, at Charles University, on July 25-31, 2021.
The main topic of the 26th International Congress of History of Science and Technology will be “Giants and Dwarfs in Science, Technology and Medicine”.
The website of the event explains the topic:
we need to ask what are the criteria for the size of a scientific figure? Have they always been the same? To what extent do they relate to the criteria used today to evaluate science at the global or national levels? When classifying a particular scientist as a “giant”, does a historian make the decision based on that person’s scientific contribution, or rather how that individual was perceived and rated by his or her peers? Are the size, importance and respect of such figures also proof of their unity of status (e.g. scientific titles, membership of societies of excellence, receipt of national and international awards or awards within their field, etc.)?
The call for proposals will be released on October 1, 2010 and the Deadline for submission of symposia proposal is April, 30, 2020. For more information, check out their website.
