The International Association of Science History and Theory (English: International Union of History and Philosophy of Science and Technology , abbreviated IUHPST ) is an international non-governmental organization that promotes cooperation between science history and philosophy of science and represents these areas internationally. The IUHPST is a member of the International Science Council (ISC; formerly ICSU) and the International Council on Philosophy and Human Sciences (CIPSH). It was founded in 1956 through the merger of the International Union of History of Science (IUHS) and the International Union of Philosophy of Science (IUPS), then under the name International Union of History and Philosophy of Science (IUHPS). Today it consists of two institutionally independent institutions, the Division of History of Science and Technology (DHST) and the Division of Logic, Methodology and Philosophy of Science (English: Division of Logic, Methodology and Philosophy of Science and Technology ; DLMPST). The chairmanship of the association is organized on a rotating basis across the divisional boards.
The organization has had its current name with the additional "and Technology" since 2015.

The DLMPST organizes a world congress every four years and coordinates the work of several commissions. The members of the DHST are either full members (nations represented by so-called national committees ) or international members (professional associations of sub-areas or regional professional associations).
Until 2015 the DLMPST was called the Division of Logic, Methodology and Philosophy of Science .
