The organising committee of the British Society for the History of Science Postgraduate Conference 2018 are grateful to the Society for the Social History of Medicine for the awarding of funds towards our conference, taking place at the University of Manchester 4th – 6th April 2018. 

The event is an important opportunity for postgraduates – including a good number of budding historians of medicine – to share research and network with a diverse group of national and international colleagues. Additional funding means that we can make accessibility and inclusivity a priority by keeping registration costs low and catering for all attendees’ needs. Delegates will enjoy a drinks reception, Bright Club comedy evening, and guided visit to one of Manchester’s many museums and archives alongside a varied and diverse programme of presentations. 

Registration via the University of Manchester estore will open on 11th January and close on 28th February.We have been able to secure limited subsidised city-centre hotel accommodation for the evenings of the 4th and 5th April, which will be made available to delegates registering before 11th February on a first-come first-served basis.
