Consolidating International Research in the History of Science

• Historical–scientific disciplines of research have already benefited both IEMN (500+ researchers) and the new University of Lille (UdL).
  
  
• The University of Lille is one of the most important and larger universities in France with 4 main structures, 6 campuses, 11 Academic Arms, 66+ Research Units, 3300+ scholars, 1800+ Ph.D students, 450+ partnerships, 8000 employees, 3 Learning Centers and more than 80.000 students – of which more than 7500 are international students.
  
  
• The IEMN, is a major player in the field of micro/nanotechnologies and their applications. With 450+ employees of 40+ different nationalities, the IEMN brings together most of the research in Hauts-de-France, from nanoscience to instrumentation in the field of microtechnology, including an international team in History of Physics and Applied Science & Technology (HOPAST) It relies on 5 supervisory bodies to develop miniaturised technologies with high added value in electronics, photonics, telecommunications, health technologies, electrical energy, the Internet of Things and transport.
  
  
• By means of important Events like Newton Principia Geneva Edition 2023 at IEMN/HOPAST & LILLIAD, University of Lille, France – and generally speaking the University of Lille – gain through enriching their research and teaching programmes by including this notable high profile event in History of Physics/Mathematics/Science.

• The DIUM Centre, Department of Humanities and Cultural Heritage (DIUM), University of Udine, Italy. [adapted]
• On 1st January 2016 the humanistic departments of the University of Udine were reorganised, splitting into wo new entities with different orientation and composition: while the first one was characterised by its strong vocation for Linguistics and Pedagogy, the other one developed around the most classic humanistic disciplines, creating thus – symbolically, right at the beginning of the year – the Department of Humanities and Cultural Heritage (Dipartimento di Studi Umanistici e del Patrimonio Culturale – DIUM), last heir of an illustrious academic tradition dating back to 1980, when the course in Cultural Heritage, the first one of its kind in Italy, was initiated. With its eight sections, fifteen laboratories (now sixteen) and four research centers (now five), DIUM aimed at operating within the broad spectrum of basic humanistic disciplines – Archaeology and History of Art, Philosophy, History, Geography, Anthropology, Philology, Linguistics, without forgetting arts related to the new media –, by giving its approach a double and complementary direction: on the one hand, the strong will to continue with the preservation and promotion of our cultural heritage through the development of heritage science and the potential offered by the digital humanities; on the other, the need to go beyond, to find new spaces and targets for research and to promote a more interdisciplinary approach (Cfr.).
• Research, teaching, promotion of cultural heritage – both tangible and intangible: these are the key words that have distinguished the activity of DIUM since its establishment, allowing it to stand out at national and international level. Proof is the number of important achievements of its members, the agreements concluded with the most prestigious scientific institutions worldwide, and the funding granted on a competitive basis for scientific merits, among which the recent recognition of DIUM as a "Department of Excellence" by the Ministry of Education, University and Research (MIUR).

• The HAPP Centre, Centre for the History and Philosophy of Physics (HAPP), University of Oxford, UK
• Over the centuries Britain’s contribution to the international study of physics has been enormous with the University of Oxford playing a key role in many areas of its advancement. Oxford continues to be a centre of excellence for research both on the historical development of the discipline and the philosophy which shapes its inquiry.
• HAPP does not simply focus on chronicling the history of the discipline as a retrospective exercise but also critically engages with the philosophy and the methodologies which inform how current research in physics is undertaken. Being based at St Cross College, the Centre is well positioned to investigate those milestones in the field in which the University of Oxford has played a leading role. Such scientific contributions extend from the emergence of the study of physics during the Middle Ages to the establishment of the Royal Society and the development of the modern discipline in the 20th and 21st centuries. (Cfr.)
• Topics covered to date include Wittgenstein and Physics, Voltaire and the Newtonian Revolution, Physics and the Great War, A History of the Sun - Our Closest Star, Medieval Physics in Oxford, The Nature of Time, A History of the Moon, The Émigrés in Oxford Physics, The Nature of Quantum Reality, Astronomy Across the Medieval World, Physics Controversies Past and Present, From Space to Spacetime, Physics and the Dark Side, A History of the Small, Paradigm Shifts Across the Ages, The Rise of Big Science in Physics, Space Travel Across the Decades and Beyond, Scientific Thinking Across the Centuries and the Foundations of Physics, and Searching for Extraterrestrial Intelligence Across a Century.

• The British Society for the History of Mathematics (BSHM), UK
• Promotes and encourages research into the history of mathematics and the dissemination of the results of that research;
• Develops awareness of the history of mathematics for the public benefit; and
• Supports teachers and lecturers at all levels of mathematics education to incorporate the history of mathematics into their teaching, enriching their students' experience.
