The History of Science Society and the European Society for the History of Science are delighted to announce their first joint mee ting will be held from 13–16 July 2026 in Edinburgh, Scotland, with the sup port of the British Society for the History of Science. Against the backdro p of a city steeped in Enlightenment legacy, scientific innovation, and the ir reestimation, this global gathering of our three communities will foster transnational collaboration and dialogue among historians of science, tech nology, and medicine. Edinburgh is a spectacular city, rich in history, cul ture and humanistic enquiry: join us, to reflect on the past while shaping the future of our discipline. 

We welcome submissions on any topic in the history of science, technology, and medicine that engage diverse geographical, thematic, and methodological pe rspectives. We are particularly keen to receive submissions that engage wit h our theme “Shifting Perspectives: Plural Worlds, Contested Scienc es,” which encourages reflection on how shifting perspectives on h istories of the sciences might better account for marginal voices, conteste d truths, and epistemic disobedience. By emphasizing plurality—in forms of knowledge, in worldviews, and in disciplinary approaches—we aim to encourag e a scholarly practice that resists reductive narratives of linear progress and singular authority. This thematic focus is particularly resonant for o ur host city, Edinburgh, whose clear contributions to Enlightenment thought and science are entangled with imperial legacies. In this spirit, the conf erence seeks conversations that are historically grounded yet critically at tuned to the present, encouraging proposals that not only explore the multi plicity of scientific worlds—across different times, places, epistemologies , and communities—but that also reflect on what it means to write histories of the sciences in plural.
