Network

A central concern of the research initiative is to integrate research in the history of the sciences and the humanities in Eastern and Central Europe. We have initiated a series of research workshops and network meetings for early career scholars on pre- and postdoc levels. In 2022, we founded an official working group at the Gesellschaft für die Geschichte der Wissenschaften, Medizin und Technik (GWMT, Society for the History of Science, Medicine and Technology).

At the moment, the network includes the Professorship for the History of Science at Erfurt University, the Leibniz Institute for the History and Culture of Eastern Europe (GWZO) in Leipzig, the Masaryk Institute and Archives of the Czech Academy of Sciences in Prague, the DAAD Chair of European and Jewish History and Culture at the University of Sussex, and the working group Historical Transregional Studies at the University of Vienna.
