Annual conference of the Swiss Society for the History of Medicine and Sciences

Bern, Switzerland

Currently we experience a crisis of expertise. It is true, experts are called for in all areas of life and on all levels of knowledge, their judgements and advice fill our talk shows, newspapers and bookshelves. But they do not provide the clarity, unambiguity and safety we long for. The statements of the acknowledged or self-proclaimed experts are to contradictory, our own standards of expertise to blurred, our desire for a democratization of expertise to strong.

Vienna, 23-26 April, 2014.

To be held in Manila, The Philippines, 9-11 January 2014

Conference Host: Department of History, Ateneo de Manila University
