In 1995 the Institute, together with four other academic institutions joined in 
a consortium to establish the International Laboratory for the History of 
Science. The aim of the participating institutions - the Cohn Institute, Tel 
Aviv; the <A href="http://dibinst.mit.edu/DIBNER/DIConferences/ILab/DIBNER/DIConferences/ILab/ILAB.html" target=_blank>Dibner Institute for the History of 
Science and Technology</A>, Cambridge, Mass.; the <A 
href="http://www.mpiwg-berlin.mpg.de/ENGLHOME.HTM" target=_blank>Max Planck Institut f&uuml;r 
Wissenschaftsgeschichte</A>, Berlin; the <A 
href="http://galileo.imss.firenze.it" target=_blank>Institute for the History of Science and 
Technology</A>, Firenze, and the <A href="http://www.uoa.gr/dhps" target=_blank>Institute for 
the History of Science at the University of Athens</A> - is to hold an annual 
summer laboratory - academy in the country of one of the members. The objective 
is to bring together junior and senior scholars to confront a focused and novel 
research topic through hands-on contact with instruments, techniques and texts. 
The Laboratory is meant to provide a new approach to the history of science and 
to break new ground in dealing with topics of fundamental interest in the field.<br><br>

Past meetings of the International Laboratory were devoted to the following topics:
