Dr. Januszewski, from the University of Technology, Wroclaw, Poland, 
has asked me to send these details of a conference he is organising for 
students interested in the history of technology and science. 
Dzierzoniow is a small former textile town about 40km west of Wroclaw 
(formerly Breslau). Dr Januszewski has arranged several events for 
Polish students in the Owl Mountains and he has an excellent knowledge 
of the industrial archaeology of the area. The conference will be held 
at the museum he is setting up in the former railway loco shed in 
Dziezoniow which was established last year.

Program:
The workshop programme is addressed to students of both Polish and 
foreign universities. The aim of this international workshop is to 
create a platform for an exchange of ideas and experience, and the 
development of co-operation between young scientists and technologists 
who are interested in the history of technology and in the conservation 
of cultural heritage. We would like to outline the need for the 
humanization of technical studies and the inclusion of technology in 
humanity studies, stressing its cultural role and the importance of the 
relationship between the environment, man and technology, as well as 
its effect on the shaping of our civilisation.
Our idea is to include these subjects in obligatory education 
programmes, and in the fields of activity of student science 
associations or ones deriving of our interests:
the history of science and technology, inventions, engineering, etc.
Conservation of our technical heritage, and to include heritage in 
education, industrial tourism, planning and the creation of new 
programs for development
Associations and other forms of student activities in the field of the 
history of technology and conservation of technical relics.

We will link the aims of the International Scientific Student’s 
Workshop with the Owl Mountains Technology Festival FOMT, the Science 
Festival of the University of  Technology, Wroclaw, and the European 
Days of Heritage.
