Project Summary : A large international conference (ca. 80 attendees) on alchemy and early chemistry is proposed for Summer 2006. The conference will last three days, and include 22-27 presented papers, a roundtable discussion, and time for study in the related collections at the conference site. The last such conference was held in 1989 (Groningen) and since then the field has seen explosive growth, significant changes to fundamental assumptions about the subject, and heightened interest on the part of scholars in many fields. Thus the time is right for a major new conference, one that will the evaluate recent studies and their intellectual impact, map out future studies by identifying crucial topics for development, and foster international , inter-institutional, and interdisciplinary collaborations. The Chemical Heritage Foundation in Philadelphia will host the event, manage all local arrangements, and provide ca. 75%of the funding (see letter of support). NSF support is sought for travel and accommodation grants for fifteen junior scholars. A key aspect of the conference is to identify and invite such promising younger scholars and to help them build collaborative bridges with each other and with senior scholars. A tangible product of the conference will be a volume of papers valuable to a broad audience, and covering the current state of the field, recent studies, and approaches to outstanding critical issues. The CHF has committed to publishing the volume. .Intellectual merit: In the last 25 years, alchemy has moved from the questionable fringes of the history of science to a central position. its impact on the established sciences is being demonstrated, and its content is now being taken seriously. But there remains considerable work to complete in order fully to appreciate the role of alchemy/chymistry in early modern science and culture. This conference will be a place for essentially all of the prominent and promising scholars currently active in the field to share ideas, outlooks, and talents, begin collaborations, and organize themselves for at least the decade ahead in terms of identifying critical issues and approaches. The proposed venue also holds some of the most important collections in the world of materials directly relating to alchemy, which will be made available to attendees. Broader Impacts: The topic of the conference has become a truly interdisciplinary endeavor, and will involve and impact scholars in not only history of science and technology, but also sociology, history of art, literature, and cultural studies. A key aspect of this conference is to involve and train younger scholars from around the world, by giving them a place to express their findings and viewpoints, and to create international links both among themselves and with senior scholars. The conference volume as well will be a venue for younger scholars to present their work, and is intended to be a fundamental text for training, education, and the advancement of the field over the next decade or more.

项目摘要：针对2006年夏季提出了一次大型国际会议（约80名参与者）和早期化学。会议将持续三天，包括22-27篇论文，圆桌会议的讨论以及在会议地点相关集合中进行研究的时间。最后一次这样的会议于1989年（格罗宁根）举行，从那时起，该领域的增长爆炸性，对主题的基本假设发生了重大变化，并提高了许多领域的学者的兴趣。 因此，现在是一项重大新会议的时间，该会议将评估最近的研究及其智力影响，通过确定发展的关键主题，并促进国际，机构间和跨学科合作来绘制未来的研究。费城化学遗产基金会将举办活动，管理所有地方安排，并提供CA。 75％的资金（请参阅支持信）。寻求NSF的支持，以提供15名初级学者的旅行和住宿赠款。 会议的一个关键方面是确定并邀请如此有前途的年轻学者，并帮助他们彼此和高级学者建立合作桥梁。会议的切实产品将是对广大受众有价值的论文，并涵盖了该领域的现状，最近的研究以及解决杰出关键问题的方法。 CHF致力于发布该卷。 .Intellectual Fure：在过去的25年中，Alchemy从可疑的科学历史边缘转变为中心位置。它对已建立的科学的影响正在证明，现在正在认真对待其内容。 但是，为了充分欣赏炼金术/奇迹在早期的现代科学和文化中的作用，仍有大量工作要完成。这次会议将成为目前活跃于该领域的所有著名和有前途的学者，以分享想法，展望和才能，开始合作并组织自己至少在确定关键问题和方法方面，至少在未来的十年中进行组织。拟议的场地还拥有与炼金术直接相关的材料世界中一些最重要的收藏品，这些收藏将为与会者提供。更广泛的影响：会议的话题已成为一项真正的跨学科努力，并且将不仅在科学和技术史上涉及和影响学者，而且还将在社会学，艺术史，文学和文化研究中参与其中。 这次会议的一个关键方面是通过给他们一个表达自己的发现和观点的地方参与和培训来自世界各地的年轻学者，并在彼此之间以及与高级学者之间建立国际联系。会议卷也将是年轻学者展示其作品的场所，并旨在成为未来十年或更长时间内培训，教育和该领域进步的基本文本。
