STEP (Science and Technology in the European Periphery)
http://www.uoa.gr/step

STEP is an international network of scholars committed to the historical study of science, technology, and medicine in contexts traditionally regarded as peripheral.

It was established in 1999 and gathers members from twelve countries in Europe, and several countries in Latin America, North America and Asia.

STEP seeks to rethink the historiographical canon of science, technology and medicine – in particular, its characteristic focus on a limited number of national contexts.

STEP promotes research across other geographical and cultural contexts, generating new questions, themes and tools of analysis, with the aim of improving our historical understanding of the role of science, technology, and medicine in the emergence of modern techno-scientific societies.
