Recent Symposia of the International Committee for the History of Technology, 2002-2004

摘要

During the past three years, the International Committee for the History of Technology (ICOHTEC) has held its annual symposium in Spain, Russia, and Germany. In June 2002, ICOHTEC met in Granada, Spain, at the invitation of Javier Goicolea, the Fundacion Juanelo Turriano, and the University of Granada. In August 2003 the venues were St. Petersburg and Moscow, and Vassily Borisov and the St. Petersburg Polytechnic University and the Institute of the History of Science and Technology of the Russian Academy of Sciences played host. Wolfhard Weber, the Ruhr-Universitaet Bochum, and the Deutsches Bergbau-Museum Bochum sponsored the society's thirty-first symposium in August 2004. In Granada, two hundred attendees participated in fourteen sessions featuring more than 175 papers; more than one hundred gathered in St. Petersburg and Moscow, and in Bochum, 120 historians, engineers, and architects participated. All three symposia attracted conferees from Europe and Russia as well as North and South America, Africa, Asia, and the South Pacific. Graduate students and eligible international members of SHOT were able to attend thanks to generous travel support from the Society for the History of Technology.
