  • Profile

    Sven Dupré is Dean of the Faculty of Humanities and Professor of Heritage, Technology and Conservation Studies at the University of Amsterdam. He was the PI of the ARTECHNE project ‘Technique in the Arts: Concepts, Practices, Expertise, 1500-1950’, supported by a European Research Council Consolidator Grant.

    Previously he was Vice-Dean for Research and Impact at the Faculty of Humanities and Professor of History of Art, Science and Technology at Utrecht University and the University of Amsterdam, Professor of History of Knowledge at the Freie Universität and Director of the Research Group ‘Art and Knowledge in Premodern Europe’ at the Max Planck Institute for the History of Science in Berlin. In Spring 2017 he was a visiting fellow at the Institute for Advanced Study (University of Warwick) and the Center for Research in the Arts, Social Sciences and Humanities (CRASSH, University of Cambridge). In Spring 2015 he was Robert H. Smith Scholar in Residence for Renaissance Sculpture in Context at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. His research has been supported by visiting fellowships at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton and at the Sydney Centre for the Foundations of Science (among others). 

    Dupré is a founding editor of the diamond open-access Journal for the History of Knowledge, the Routledge book series Knowledge Societies in History and the Brill Nuncius series on the material and visual history of science. He is a member of the advisory board of the Lund Center for History of Knowledge, the Center for Global Knowledge Studies at the University of Cambridge and the Netherlands Institute for Advanced Study (NIAS), and a member of the Council of the Humanities of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences (KNAW). Further, he regularly collaborates with artists (a.o. David Hockney, Claudy Jongstra, Ciprian Muresan).
