Abstracts of around 200 words should be sent to Prof. Andrew Gregory (andrew.gregory@ucl.ac.uk) by 31st October. Decisions early November.

Papers are welcomed from established academics, postdocs and postgraduate students. Papers are welcomed on science in any ancient culture treated historically, philosophically, sociologically or technically.

This year there will be three panel sessions:

  • Prof. Mark Geller will chair a session on Babylonian Science and Medicine.
  • Prof. Robert Hahn will chair a session on The Material Dimensions of Ancient Philosophy and Science.
  • Prof. Andrew Gregory will chair a session on Early Greek Philosophies of Nature.

Paper proposals are welcomed for all of these sessions.

Papers generally will be 20 minutes with 10 minutes for discussion though some papers may be invited to give longer presentations.
