The European Science Foundation in collaboration with the Foundation for the History of Technology in the Netherlands is organizing a conference, Appropriating America, Making Europe. This conference is part of the European Science Foundation EUROCORES program Inventing Europe.

The conference will provide scholars interested in the role of technology in European history with the opportunity to explore the making of Europe through an explicit transatlantic lens. Invitees are members of the Inventing Europe research program and specialist in American Studies. The participants explore the many ways technology has played a role in shaping American-European relationships, and conversely how these relationships have shaped technology during the twentieth century.

The conference venue, “Het Trippenhuis”, is the seat of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Sciences and Arts. This beautiful building is located in the heart of the city and within ten- minute walking distance from Amsterdam‘s Central Station. Convenient train services will bring you from Schiphol Airport terminal to Amsterdam Central Station.
