The History of Science Society and the European Society for the History of Scie nce are delighted to announce their first joint meeting will be held from 1 3–16 July 2026 in Edinburgh, Scotland, with the support of the British Soci ety for the History of Science. Against the backdrop of a city steeped in E nlightenment legacy, scientific innovation, and their reestimation, this gl obal gathering of our three communities will foster transnational collabora tion and dialogue among historians of science, technology, and medicine. Ed inburgh is a spectacular city, rich in history, culture and humanistic enqu iry: join us, to reflect on the past while shaping the future of our discip line. 

We welcome submissions on any topic in the history of s cience, technology, and medicine that engage diverse geographical, thematic , and methodological perspectives. We are particularly keen to receive subm issions that engage with our theme “Shifting Perspectives: Plural W orlds, Contested Sciences,” which encourages reflection on how shi fting perspectives on histories of the sciences might better account for ma rginal voices, contested truths, and epistemic disobedience. By emphasizing plurality—in forms of knowledge, in worldviews, and in disciplinary approa ches—we aim to encourage a scholarly practice that resists reductive narrat ives of linear progress and singular authority. This thematic focus is part icularly resonant for our host city, Edinburgh, whose clear contributions t o Enlightenment thought and science are entangled with imperial legacies. I n this spirit, the conference seeks conversations that are historically gro unded yet critically attuned to the present, encouraging proposals that not only explore the multiplicity of scientific worlds—across different times, places, epistemologies, and communities—but that also reflect on what it m eans to write histories of the sciences in plural.
