The International Committee for the History of Technology,
ICOHTEC, welcomes submissions for the Maurice Daumas Prize, which
aims to encourage innovative scholarship in the history of technology.
ICOHTEC is interested in the history of technological development as well
as its relationship to science, society, economy, culture and the
environment. The history of technology covers all periods of human
history. There is no limitation as to theoretical or methodological
approaches.
The Maurice Daumas Prize will be awarded to the author of the
best article submitted on the history of technology and published in a
journal or edited volume in 2012 or 2013. Submissions are welcomed from
scholars of any country, and their focus can be the technological past of
any period or part of the world. Eligible for the prize are original
articles published in any of the official ICOHTEC languages (English,
French, German, Russian or Spanish). If the language of publication is
not English, applicants must include a three-page English summary.
For
the Maurice Daumas Prize 2014, please send your submission to
each of the five Prize Committee members no later than 5
January 2014. Electronic submissions are preferred. The winner will
be contacted in late May 2014.
The
prize will be awarded at our 41st Symposium, to be held 29
July – 2 August 2014 in Brasov, Romania. The winner will receive a
cash prize of Euro 500 as well as a travel grant
of Euro 300 (if needed) to attend the ICOHTEC Symposium of 2014.
Additionally, the
ICOHTEC Symposium will feature a special panel organized around the
winning article.
