NOTCOM is pleased to announce "Utopianism and Early Modern Scientific Collaboration", a conference taking place on 11 & 12 May 2026. It will be held on both days at the Maison Française d'Oxford.

The conference will discuss various utopian aspects of early modern natural knowledge production, with particular interest in the collaborative institutions dedicated to its advancement. Papers will include discussions of the relationship between early modern missionary writing and utopian fiction; investigations into the link between seventeenth-century arguments for research specialisation and ideal learned societies; and inquiries into ideas of household economy and common goods in early modern utopianism.
