ISHPS
The Israeli Society for History & Philosophy of Science
Why the ISHPS?
Because science, technology and medicine matter. Because they raise questions that all of us, as citizens, need to be able to answer. Because for more than a generation, Israeli philosophers, historians, sociologists and anthropologists of science, technology & medicine have acquired a world reputation for brilliant and creative research, describing and explaining how these matters came to play the crucial role they play in our society, and what it all means.

Congratulations to winners of the Beller Prize, 2008
The Mara Beller Prize is awarded each year to recognize the best graduate research in our fields of study. The prize memorializes Prof. Mara Beller, who was a beloved and respected colleague and teacher, and symbolized the very best of our field. This year the prize was awarded to Dr. Hadar Perry (Bar Ilan) and Dr. Adam Berg (Haifa). Honorable mention went to Mr. Gal Raz (Tel Aviv). These three students exemplify the excellence and creativity to which all of us aspire.
