This workshop is organised as part of the Integrating the Histories of Science and the Humanities, 1500–1900 Scientific Research Network, funded by the Research Foundation – Flanders (FWO). Bringing together nine international partners, this network explores what happens when we examine the relationship between the natural sciences and the humanities through the lens of their intertwined histories.
