Following its launch in Dresden in 2015, and subsequent editions in Helsinki (2017), Vienna (2019), Prague (2021), Porto (2022), Budapest (2024), and Paris (2025), the 8th edition of the IWHSCR will be organised by members of the PHONLAB project (2022.06811.PTDC), in collaboration with the Faculty of Arts and Humanities of the University of Coimbra.

This edition will place a special emphasis on experimental phonetics as an emerging field at the intersection of the humanities, medical sciences, and engineering, which underwent rapid development throughout the twentieth century. Particular attention will be given to the role of institutions, internationally engaged scientific actors, and the creation of innovative scientific spaces, technologies, and techniques.

During the International Workshop, participants will have the opportunity to take part in a guided visit to the exhibition “Armando de Lacerda Wing – Laboratory of Experimental Phonetics of Coimbra”.
