On a warm and sunny St Valentine’s day, twenty-two PhD candidates from the Low Countries gathered in the beautiful Rolduc Abbey (Kerkrade) for the seventh edition of the History of Science and Humanities PhD-conference. Many of them had just recently started their projects, some were finishing, others were working on specific case studies. The topics ranged from Chinese medicine in the Song period to nuclear research in post-war Belgium, and from oral history in the 1960s to early modern natural history.
