Staff and students at the reception for the BSHS-sponsored lecture by Ian Hacking on “Making up Autism” on 13 May 2013 at University of Leeds
The BSHS is always looking for opportunities to start dialogues that involve the history of science. We organize conferences, workshops, seminars and outreach events for audiences ranging from schoolchildren to adults, and we are developing lots of new ideas for events in the history of science.
Enquiries about support for academic events (conferences, workshops etc) should go to the Conference Committee and enquiries about support for outreach activities should go to the Outreach and Education Committee.
Do you have an idea that you think would be useful as a BSHS event?
Let us know. Contact the Conference Committee (conference@bshs.org.uk) or Outreach and Education Committee Chair (outreach@bshs.org.uk), who will be happy to discuss your proposal and how to develop it. The information below relates to conference organization.
Are you trying to organise a conference and would like the BSHS to help organise it with you, or provide some support?
We can offer different forms of support depending on what you or your organisation/institution needs.
1. BSHS-organised event.
These are events that the BSHS is willing to take care of all the administration, programme, publicity and budget.
2. Joint event
These events are organised by the BSHS with one or more partners who share the organisation, budget, publicity and programme arrangements to reach the widest possible audience.
To help with planning and to adhere to our legal responsibilities, we ask to be involved with the planning and decision-making, to see the proposed budget and to be represented on publicity.
3. Financial Sponsorship
We will announce upcoming funding rounds on our website, across our social media channels, and through the usual history-of-science mailing lists.
4. Technical (in-kind) sponsorship
Non-financial support that helps with publicity, administration or programme advice for the event.
All we ask is that the BSHS support be recognised in the literature associated with the event.
If you would like to seek one of these forms of support or have an idea that you think we will be interested in, please contact the Outreach and Education Committee Chair (outreach@bshs.org.uk) for events related to public engagement, outreach, and education, or the Conference Committee (conference@bshs.org.uk) for events related to conferences, workshops, seminars, or symposia.
