It is a cliché of self-help advice that there are no problems, only opportunities. The rationale and actions of the BSHS in creating its Global Digital History of Science Festival may be a rare genuine confirmation of this mantra. The global COVID-19 pandemic of 2020 meant that the society's usual annual conference – like everyone else's – had to be cancelled. Once the society decided to go digital, we had a hundred days to organize and deliver our first online festival. In the hope that this will help, inspire and warn colleagues around the world who are also trying to move online, we here detail the considerations, conversations and thinking behind the organizing team's decisions.

危机中的创新：在大流行和气候紧急情况下重新思考会议和奖学金

没有问题，只有机会，这是自助建议的陈词滥调。BSHS 创建其全球数字科学史节的理由和行动可能是对这一口头禅的难得的真正证实。2020 年的全球 COVID-19 大流行意味着该学会通常的年度会议——就像其他人一样——不得不取消。一旦社会决定走向数字化，我们就有一百天的时间来组织和举办我们的第一个在线节日。希望这能帮助、激励和警告世界各地也在尝试在线迁移的同事，我们在此详细介绍了组织团队决策背后的考虑、对话和思考。
