XVI International Reunion for the History of Nautical
Science
Call for Papers
Dear colleagues and friends,
As arranged last November in El Ferrol, the next reunion
for the International Committee for the History of Nautical
Science will be held
October 3-6, 2012
in Bremerhaven (Germany) at the German Maritime Museum.
The general conference theme will be:
Nautical Science and the transmission of
knowledge
The ideas of the theme are manifold:
-
transmission of knowledge from a chronological point of
view: transmission from one generation to the next,
education etc.
-
transmission of knowledge from science to the practitioners
and vice versa
-
transmission of knowledge from a geographical point of
view: between countries and cultures
Conference language: English
During your stay, the museum with its interesting
exhibitions and exhibits – among them the historic
Hanseatic cog from 1380 - as well as its library and
archives, will be accessible by the participants.
Additionally we have organized interesting and attractive
excursions and visits to the bridge simulator at the
biggest navigation school of Germany in Elsfleth, to the
port of Bremerhaven, to the modern radar surveillance
centre here, and more. We are looking forward to welcoming
you here.
Please
send your submissions including an abstract of 100-150
words before end of February 2012. Title and abstract will be put on
the website as soon as the program is complete.
Please check the website of the Reunion of further details.
With kind regards
Albrecht Sauer
