Online lecture series "History of Technology at Noon"

Since April 2021, Marcus Popplow and Gisela Hürlimann (Dresden) have been organizing a biweekly online colloquium for the Gesellschaft für Technikgeschichte on Fridays from 12 to 1 p.m. during the semester (mid-April to mid-July and mid-October to mid-February). In this colloquium, research and publication projects, exhibitions, courses of study, teaching concepts, or conference plans on the history of technology in German-speaking countries are presented and jointly discussed. The presentations can be problem-oriented and may also address popular science concerns. The focus is on its workshop character: a short input (20 min.) is followed by an open discussion among the audience and then reactions in dialogue with the presenter. The event adsdresses the members of the GTG (Society for the History of Technology), chairs and professorships in the field of history of technology as well as its students, museums, exhibitors and other institutions and interested parties in the field of history of technology.
