This final plenary session will showcase emerging talent in the history of science, technology and medicine, with the award of both the DHST’s and the BSHS’s prizes for younger scholars.

This year, the BSHS Singer Prize has been awarded to Iain Watts. The DHST Young Scholars’ Prize was won by Michitake Aso, Eugénie Briot, Fabian Krämer, Don Leggett and Marc Oliveras, with honourable mentions to Hesham Alahmad, Hao Chen, Helen Curry, Yulia Frumer, and Li Hui.

We are delighted to report that seven of the award-winners will be attending to collect their prizes in person, and several (Aso, Krämer, Leggett, Oliveras) will give short presentations based on their work.

The Congress will then close with a short ceremony of thanks and farewell, and a look forward to the next Congress in 2017.
