The Institute’s Colloquium series of 2023/24 is dedicated to showcasing the wide spectrum of research themes being pursued at the Max Planck Institute for the History of Science. All Departments and Research Groups invite one or more speakers to address methods and issues that are of crucial relevance for their specific ongoing research while at the same time being of significance for the field of history of science and knowledge as a whole.
