Attended by international scholars, paper presentations and discussions centred on practices that assure longevity of technology, with a focus on large industrial plants and technical infrastructures as well as different consumer commodities. The cases discussed involved systems like electrical power grids, roads, railroads, and telephone networks. Other papers investigated housing restoration, ship dismantling and recycling (shipbreaking), and automobile repair and restoration. All papers looked at the short twentieth century (with one exception, focused\u00a0on 19<sup>th<\/sup> century Russia), while the geographical scope encompassed different East\u00a0and West European countries, North and South America, China, India and Russia.<\/p>\n\n\n<section class=\"alignfull wp-block-unilux-blocks-gallery-carousel\">\n    <div class=\"swiper swiper-gallery\" aria-roledescription=\"carousel\" aria-label=\"A gallery of images\">\n        <!-- Swiper button Next & Prev -->\n        <div class=\"swiper-nav\">\n            <div class=\"swiper-nav__container\">\n                <div class=\"swiper-nav__grid\">\n                    <button type=\"button\" class=\"swiper-button-next\">\n                        <svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" class=\"icon icon-outline icon--arrow-right \"><use xlink:href=\"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/themes\/unilux-theme\/assets\/images\/icons\/icons-outline.svg#icon--arrow-right\"><\/use><\/svg>                    <\/button>\n                    <button type=\"button\" class=\"swiper-button-prev\">\n                        <svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" class=\"icon icon-outline icon--arrow-left \"><use xlink:href=\"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/themes\/unilux-theme\/assets\/images\/icons\/icons-outline.svg#icon--arrow-left\"><\/use><\/svg>                    <\/button>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n\n        <!-- swiper slides -->\n        <ul class=\"swiper-wrapper\">\n            \n<li class=\"swiper-slide\" aria-roledescription=\"slide\">\n    <figure class=\"wp-block-dev4-reusable-blocks-image swiper-slide__bg object-fit--contain\">\n    \n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-block-image unilux-custom-image-block\"\n                alt=\"\"\n            src=\"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2025\/03\/rs4048_img_4669-scr.jpg\"\n                    style=\"object-position: 50.00% 50.00%;

Topics discussed included the role of maintenance and repair in the transfer of technical knowledge and in the broader phenomenon of \u201ctechnology transfer.\u201d \u00a0The link between repair practices and innovation processes was also a recurring theme in the discussions. Two papers presented macro histories: Heike Weber\u2019s work on the obsolescence debate in West Germany and Phil Scranton\u2019s paper on maintenance and repair in post-war Poland.\u00a0 Both sketched a larger picture\u00a0of the development of repair and disposal strategies, practices, and economies.<\/p>\n\n<p>The workshop revealed the sometimes surprising persistence of technical artefacts and the practices of maintenance and repair attached to them. The historical cases presented emphasized that it is often difficult to distinguish between preventive maintenance, repair, and reuse practices. Furthermore, the choice to repair, reuse, or discard a technical artefact is closely interlinked to the availability of spare parts and repair services, which impacts businesses and individuals when they decide whether to repair an object or to buy a new one.<\/p>\n\n<p>In his closing commentary, Patrick Fridenson suggested possible topical lenses for reframing and continuing the discussions: the environment, safety and health issues, technical education and techno-politics, and continuing-use concepts like \u201cupcycling\u201d and \u201cafterlife\u201d.<\/p>\n\n<p>The program was originally organised by\u00a0<a href=\"user\/189\">Stefan Krebs<\/a>\u00a0(University of Luxembourg) and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.geschichte.kit.edu\/mitarbeiter_722.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Heike Weber<\/a>\u00a0(Karlsruhe Institute of Technology).\u00a0\u00a0For more details about the workshop see the original <a href=\"node\/2040\">program anouncement<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"py-48 first:pt-0 last:pb-0 wp-block-unilux-blocks-people-list\">\n    \n<h3 class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-unilux-blocks-heading\"    >\nAuthor(s)<\/h3>\n<ul class=\"flex flex-wrap -mx-16 wp-block-unilux-blocks-people-item-wrapper\">\n    <li class=\"w-full md:w-1\/2 p-16 wp-block-unilux-blocks-people-item-automated\"><div class=\"ulux-card card-people bg-theme\"><div class=\"list-people bg-theme\">\n    <div class=\"list-people__container\">\n        <div class=\"list-people__visual\">\n            <figure class=\"wp-block-dev4-reusable-blocks-image\">\n                <!-- Template Image Component: default -->\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"w-full\" width=\"\" height=\"\" rel=\"\" alt=\"Assoc.
