Call for papers

In order to promote contacts among young researchers in Philosophy of Science and the construction of a network of young researchers at an international level, the Société de Philosophie des Sciences (http://www.sps-philoscience.org/) organizes each year an International Doctoral Conference in Philosophy of Sciences. In 2017, this conference will be held in Grenoble Alpes University, on Thursday the 21th and Friday the 22th of September. 

Stéphanie Ruphy (Grenoble Alpes University) and Henri Galinon (Clermont Auvergne University) will be the guest speakers.

During the Doctoral Conference, students from the 2nd year of their PhD on, as well as young researchers having defended their thesis less than two years ago, will be presenting their works in Philosophy of Sciences broadly understood (general philosophy of science, philosophy of logic, philosophy of mathematics, philosophy of physics, philosophy of biology, philosophy of medicine, philosophy of social sciences, theory of scientific knowledge etc.). The talks will be held preferably in French, though communications in English are also accepted. Each presentation will last 30 minutes, with the first 5 minutes devoted to a general presentation of the subject of the thesis, and will be followed by some time for discussion. Without giving up on the usual standards of their own field, the speakers are invited to stress their contributions to general problems in Philosophy of Sciences.

PhD students and young researchers are invited to submit a long abstract (6000 signs max.) prepared for blind review. Another file should contain a short presentation of the thesis and its relation with the submission (2000 signs max.), as well as the following information: name, surname, subject of the thesis, name of PhD advisor, institution, year of the first inscription in postgraduate studies or, for young researchers, date of thesis defence. Either .pdf or .doc-x formats are accepted.

All submissions should be made via our online submission system: https://rdips2017.sciencesconf.org

*Extended deadline: 15^th of May 2017*

Notification of acceptance will be given in July. Participants are welcome to become member of the SPS (10 € for students). Students who are not going to present are also invited to attend the conference.
