14th International Conference on the History of Chemistry (14ICHC)

The 14 ICHC will be hosted by the Lopez Piñero Inter-University Institute – University of Valencia, an academic institution which supports research projects and outreach activities on historical and social studies on medicine, technology, science and the environment. The Institute is located in a restored 18th century palace in the centre of the city of Valencia, where the Historical-Medical Library and the Scientific-Medical Collection of the University of Valencia are located, with permanent and temporary monographic exhibitions. The conference programme will include scientific sessions, key-note lectures, the WP business meeting, as well as social events such as excursions, a reception, and a conference dinner. As in the previous ICHC conferences, the conference fees will be kept as low as possible, covering welcome reception, coffee breaks and lunches. For more information about preparing your submission and the conference presentation, please check the proposal guidelines. The general conference theme is Chemistry & capitalism with the aim to foster debates about the relationship between chemistry broadly constructed, industry, environment, and regulations through a historical perspective.
