Call for papers

Deadline for submission of abstracts: 26th May 2017

We are pleased to announce the call for papers for the annual History of Science, Technology and Medicine Network Ireland Conference, which will be held at the RDS Library & Archives.

A goal of the network is to establish a forum for academics at all career levels. Proposals for papers from established, early career, postgraduate, undergraduate and researchers without institutional affiliation are welcome.

 The body
 Military and maritime science and technology
 Philosophy of science, technology and medicine
 Medical humanities
