Dear ESHS member,
This communication is to call for nominations for the 2024 Gustav Neuenschwander Prize.
This is the main prize of our Society and is awarded for outstanding life‐long achievements and major contributions to the discipline of the history of science. It was created by Professor Erwin Neuenschwander in 2011 in memory of his father Gustav Neuenschwander. You can find more information here: http://www.eshs.org/gustav-neuenschwander-prize/
The prize, which currently amounts to 20,000 (twenty thousand) Euros, is presented biennially at the ESHS Conferences. It consists of a financial reward, a medal, and the invitation to deliver a plenary lecture at the Conference, which will be held in Barcelona on 4-7 September 2024 (https://eventum.upf.edu/94068/detail/science-technology-humanity-and-the-earth-11th-eshs-conference-4-7-september-2024.html).
