2024 ESPRit Conference - "Periodicals: S.T.E.A.M. AHEAD!"

The Twelfth International ESPRit Conference, themed "Periodicals: S.T.E.A.M. AHEAD!", successfully took place from 11-13 September 2024 at the Università degli Studi di Urbino Carlo Bo. The conference brought together scholars from around the world to explore the intersections of Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics (S.T.E.A.M.) in periodicals.

The event featured engaging presentations, discussions, and a special workshop for postgraduate students, along with guided city tours and museum visits. Participants reflected on the role of periodicals in the history of industrial and scientific revolutions, their materiality, and their impact on knowledge dissemination.

We extend our gratitude to all speakers, participants, and organizers for their contributions to this enriching academic exchange.
