-------- Original Message -------- Subject: Fwd: [Listmail] Institute for the History of Science and Medicine “López Piñero” Valencia Date: Tue, 24 Jun 2014 13:48:27 +0100 To: Belinda Michaelides <[log in to unmask]> -------- Original Message -------- Von: Jose Ramon Bertomeu Sanchez<[log in to unmask]> An: Prof. Dr. Bettina Wahrig<[log in to unmask]> Dear colleagues, We write to inform you that the president of the CSIC (the Spanish National Council for Scientific Research), unilaterally and with no warning at all, has decided to break the agreement existing between the CSIC and the University of Valencia, which would mean the closing of the Institute for the History of Science and Medicine “López Piñero” of Valencia on 15 December 2014. In the communication from the president of the CSIC to the rector of the University of Valencia, it is literally alleged that “the Institute has suffered a considerable reduction of its activity and scientific production as a consequence of the significant loss of personnel working in it”. As you can imagine, we, the researchers of the institute, do not agree with this judgment at all. Among other reasons, because in the evaluation of the accomplishment of research objectives of the past year 2013, made by CSIC itself, we have arrived to the 100%. On the other hand, next September at the Institute will begin the new inter-university MA History of Science and Scientific Communication, with the University Miguel Hernández and the University of Alicante. Moreover, the Institute has been organizing and hosting regularly conferences, seminars, round tables, cycles of academic lectures, etc., as many of you know and can be seen in our website (www.ihmc.uv-csic.es <http://www.ihmc.uv-csic.es>). Against the decision there is also the recent placing at the Palau de Cerveró, location of the Institute, of the permanent exhibitions of the scientific-medical collection of the University of Valencia. For all those reasons, as a colleague knowing of this reality, we ask you to express your solidarity and state your support (personal as well as institutional) to the continuity of the Institute for the History of Science and Medicine “López Piñero” through messages sent to the president and vicepresident of the CSIC and to the rector of the University of Valencia. Thank you very much in advance for your support, The faculty meeting of the Institute for the History of Science and Medicine “López Piñero” (CSIC-Universitat de València) PS: These are the addresses: President of the CSIC.
