INTER-UNION COMMISSION OF HISTORY OF ASTRONOMY (ICHA) The Inter-Union Commission of History of Astronomy (ICHA) is a joint commission of the International Union of History and Philosophy of Science and Technology (IUHPST)/ Division of History of Science and Technology and the International Astronomical Union (IAU). ICHA receives financial support from the IUHPST and makes its home base in that Union. Its connection to the IAU is through Commission C3 (History of Astronomy).
Upcoming Meeting ICHA will meet during the upcoming 26th International Congress of History of Science and Technology (26th ICHST), which will be held 25-31 July 2021 (now virtually) in Prague, Czech Republic. Those interested in the history of astronomy are encouraged to check out the sessions organized by ICHA and the other Commissions. The Congress program and registration instructions will be found at https://www.ichst2021.org/. No formal membership is required to attend the Prague Congress or most of the subsidiary meetings, but registration is required. GRANTS FOR EARLY CAREER SCHOLARS The ICHA is pleased to announce that it has secured modest funds to help defray meeting costs for early career scholars wishing to attend the Prague Congress or other meetings relevant to the history of astronomy. THIS INCLUDES MEETINGS OF SUNDIAL SOCIETIES. Preference will be given to those presenting a paper or poster at the meeting. If you wish to apply for a grant, please send an application email to Sara Schechner, Secretary of ICHA ([email protected]) describing the meeting you wish to attend and your role in it. The application process will be managed by the Organizing Committee of IAU Commission C3. We will begin to review applications for 2021 on April 20 in order to enable applicants to take advantage of the early registration discount for the Prague Congress. Sara J.
