Three Societies Meeting - Edmonton 2016

The Three Society Meeting is held every four years and brings together three organizations dedicated to the study history of science, technology, and medicine: the British Society for the History of Science, Canadian Society for the History and Philosophy of Science, and the History of Science Society. Previous successful meetings were in Philadelphia (2012), Oxford (2008), Halifax, Nova Scotia (2004), St Louis (2000), Edinburgh (1996), Toronto (1992), and Manchester (1988).

The Eighth Joint Meeting of the BSHS, CSHPS, and the HSS will take place in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada 22-25 June 2016. The theme of the meeting is ‘Transitions’.

The conference will take place at the University of Alberta. Founded in 1905, U of A is located in Edmonton, Canada’s most northern major city. U of A has 37,000 undergraduate students and more than 3,000 faculty and academic staff. Accommodation will be available on campus and near campus.

June is an ideal time for this conference, when you will be able to experience the abundant green space on campus at its best with average daily temperatures of 20C and almost 17 hours of daylight. The Light Rail Transit (LRT) station located at the heart of the campus provides quick and easy transportation across the river to downtown dining, shopping, arts, and entertainment venues. The University of Alberta is also located a short 20 minute walk from historic Whyte Avenue with its many restaurants and bars, coffee shops, and boutique stores. West Edmonton Mall, a world famous shopping and entertainment complex located in the west end of the city is also easily accessible via transit from the University of Alberta.
