Although the British Society for the History of Science is the adhering body to the Division of the History of Science of the International Union for the History and Philosophy of Science, it works in close collaboration with many other learned societies in Britain. Many of these have come together to sponsor the UK Learned Societies’ Reception on the first full day of the Congress to welcome everyone attending this Manchester meeting.

The reception will be held on the ground floor of University Place, the main Congress venue. Drinks will be provided, and all delegates are welcome to attend.
