ICOHTEC is an international scholarly organization that holds an annual conference and publishes the annual journal ICON. It will hold its 28th conference as a part of the XXIst International Congress of the History of Science in Mexico City.

The ICOHTEC Program Committee welcomes proposals for individual PAPERS,
SESSIONS (3-4 papers), and SYMPOSIA (5 or more papers). The overall

broad framework. We also encourage contributions focusing on Latin
America. Thus far, three symposia are being organized:

I - Science, technology and music
II - Technology transfer and globalization
III - Technology and the environment

organized, please contact the Program Committee Chair by email for
