This year the 12th International Conference on History of Chemistry, co-organised by Ernst Homburg (chair), Cyrus Mody and Geert Somsen, was held in Maastricht from 29 July to 2 August 2019. It is a biennial conference which aims to bring together and facilitate communication between historically interested chemists, chemistry educators and historians of chemistry from all over Europe and beyond.
The first ICHC was organised in 1991 in Veszprém, Hungary, and has since taken place in various locations in Hungary, in Estoril/Lisbon-Portugal, Leuven-Belgium, Rostock-Germany, Uppsala-Sweden, Aveiro-Portugal and Trondheim.
With almost 120 participants from more than 20 nations from Europe, Asia and the Americans the conference was a great success!
