ICOHTEC,
the International Committee for the History of Technology, is interested in the
history of technology, focusing on technological development as well as its
relationship to science, society, economy, culture and the environment. The
history of technology covers all periods of human history and all populated
areas. There is no limitation as to theoretical or methodological approaches.
Eligible
for the prize are original book-length works in any of the official ICOHTEC
languages (English, French, German, Russian or Spanish) in the history of
technology: published or unpublished Ph.D. theses or other monographs written
by scholars who, when applying for the prize, are not older than 37 years. Articles
and edited anthologies are not eligible.
