ARTEFACTS 2012

ARTEFACTS 2012  Registration is now open.


ARTEFACTS is an international network of academic and museum-based scholars of science, technology and medicine interested in promoting the use of objects in research. The network was established in 1996 and since then has held annual conferences examining the role of artefacts in the making of science and technology and related areas.  This year's conference will be held in Edinburgh, Scotland, 7-9 October
2012. The conference aims to discuss the entanglement of national identity and scientific, technical and medical artefacts in a global context. A preliminary conference programme can be found at
