Our main purpose is to value the biographical methodology approach in academic training and scholarly research, not just for the historiographic practice, where it is of increasing interest the conjunction between History of Science and Intellectual History, but also with regard to broader contexts of production and incorporation of knowledge both by the concerned communities and by a socially and publicly responsible society.In this International Conference, we are encouraging fellow colleagues and post-graduation students to submit presentation proposals either of biographical accounts that are engaged in describing scientific practices as well as dissecting those intellectual rationales from the past, either of philosophical or political substance. In sum, the opportunity of this International Conference lies not merely in the large number of important individuals whose lives remain to be described, but more significantly in the contribution that biographical and imminently intellectual approaches could give to the study of Science, Technology and Innovation in history.Submission guidelinesIt is open until&#160;30 April 2017, a call for the submission of individual communication proposals to take place within the international conference entitled &#8220;Biographical and Intellectual History of Science, Technology and Innovation: Philosophical Perspectives and Views of Politics&#8221;, to be held in Portugal.The event will take place in Portuguese city of &#201;vora, on the&#160;23 and 24 November 2017, counting with the participation of two invited speakers, a public discussion round-table and having in mind the possibility of publishing the best works within a peer review publication.The selection of proposals by the Scientific Committee presupposes compliance with the following parameters: a summary of up to 300 words, 5 Keywords and a maximum of 4-5 bibliographical references, to be submitted through the web platform siiuevora.ptThematic axis1 &#8211; University &#171;Gurus and Mandarins&#187; and power structures in S&#38;T 2 &#8211; Academics and scientists in the organization of science 3 &#8211; Engineers and industrialists: the heralds of the Technique 4 &#8211; Technocrats and bureaucrats: from scientific policy to technological policy*The communications sent as free themes will be evaluated according to their intrinsic quality and arranged in related sessions.The submission of communication proposals should be made via siiuevora.pt.
