History of Physics Group conference: call for papers

In collaboration with the Donostia International Physics Center in Donostia-San Sebastian, the EPS interdivisional group for the History of physics will organise the 3rd International Conference on the History of Physics under the auspices of the European Physical Society from 17–21 October 2018. This will be co-organised with the 4th Early-Career Conference for Historians in the Physical Sciences of the American Institute of Physics hopefully allowing for a vigorous conference.

The main goal of the conference is to provide a forum where historians of physics and physicists meet to reflect on the importance of the history of science for the development of contemporary physics, not only in its conceptual evolution but also at the institutional, organisational and educational levels; as well as to promote the contribution of practicing physicists to the highly professionalised discipline of the history of physics. At the conference, the Physics Estoire Prize will be awarded, which was first awarded at the previous conference in Pöllau (AT) in 2016. The series started with a conference in Cambridge (UK) in 2014.

The call for papers has a deadline of March 15th, 2018. All necessary information is available on the conference web site: http://www.ehu.eus/ehusfera/hopdss2018/
