LAUSR

History of Technology (ICOHTEC) was hosted by the University of Porto (FLUP), Portugal, from 26 to 30 July 2016. The symposium was co-organized by ICOHTEC and the CIUHCT, the Interuniversity Center for the History of Science and Technology that brings together researchers from the University of Lisbon and NOVA—New University of Lisbon. Prior to the meeting, on 23–25 July, symposium organizers hosted a three-day intensive seminar course (“summer school”) for Ph.D. students and recent postdoctoral researchers, aimed at rethinking historical and contemporary narratives on technology and related topics. The young participants joined the symposium afterward. More details are found at the end of the report. The symposium was opened at the city center, in the historic building of the rectory of the University of Porto, with welcomes by university officials, local organizing committee members, and the ICOHTEC president.
