The International Committee for the History of Technology, ICOHTEC, welcomes submissions for the Maurice Daumas Prize, which aims to encourage innovative scholarship in the history of technology. ICOHTEC is interested in the history of technological development as well as its relationship to science, society, economy, culture, and the environment. There is no limitation as to theoretical or methodological approaches.
The prize will be awarded to the author of the best article submitted which deals with the history of technology in any period of the past or in any part of the world and which was published in a journal or edited volume in 2022 or 2023. Eligible for the prize are original articles published in (or later translated into) any of the official ICOHTEC languages (English, French, German, Russian or Spanish). Submissions are welcomed from scholars of any country who are currently in graduate school or have received their doctorate within the last seven years. Please send your submission and a brief (not to exceed one-page) cv to each of the nine Prize Committee members no later than 1 March 2023.
Electronic submissions are preferred. The winner will be contacted in late May 2023.
The prize will be awarded at our 50th Symposium in Tallinn and Tartu, Estonia (14-18 August 2023). The winner will receive a cash prize of Euro 500. Alongside the first prize, articles in the second and third-ranking positions will receive an honorarium/diploma award.
The Daumas Prize is sponsored by the Université de Technologie de Belfort-Montbéliard (UTBM), France.
