The evolving identity of Chemistry

 

The Working Party (WP) on History of Chemistry of the European Association for Chemical and Molecular Sciences (EuCheMS) will hold its bi-annual History of Chemistry Conference in Leuven (Belgium) between 28 August and 1 September 2007.

The conference will mainly focus on the disciplinary identity of chemistry and the changing relationships with other fields. A major aim of the conferences organised by the WP is to facilitate communication between historically interested chemists and historians of chemistry from all over Europe.

Previous conferences organised by the Working Party were held in Budapest in September 2003 (“Communication in chemistry in Europe”) and Lisbon in September 2005 (“Chemistry, Technology and Society”).
