Every two years the Working Party (WP) on History of Chemistry of the European Chemical Society (EuChemS) organizes an international conference on the history of chemistry, open to colleagues from all over the world. The 12th International Conference on the History of Chemistry (12th ICHC) will take place from 29th July to 2nd August, 2019 in Maastricht, one of the oldest cities of The Netherlands, which still has preserved much of its historical charm. The dates of the conference are chosen in such a way that those who are visiting the Annual Meeting of the History of Science Society (HSS) in Utrecht, The Netherlands, from 23-27 July 2019, can easily combine this with participation in ICHC12.
A call for papers with more details will be sent out soon.
The Conference will be hosted by Maastricht University (MU), a young university, founded in 1976, with a very international student population, and a strong research group in Science, Technology and Society (STS), including the history of science and technology. The conference will be sponsored by MU, the Royal Dutch Chemical Society and several other organizations.
The Steering Organizing Committee consists of Christoph Meinel, Universität Regensburg, and Ignacio Suay-Matallana, Universidad Miguel Hernández, Alicante (chairs of the committee), Cyrus Mody (member of the local organizing committee) and Brigitte Van Tiggelen. Science History Institute (chair of the WP). Chairperson of the Local Organizing Committee is Ernst Homburg, Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, MU, Maastricht.
