Conference ‘Philosophy of Science in a Forest 2013′
23 May 2013 @ 13:00 - 25 May 2013 @ 12:30
|Every three year, the Dutch Society for the Philosophy of Science (DSPS; in Dutch: Nederlandse Vereniging voor Wetenschapsfilosofie, NVWF), organises this international conference with the original aim to collect everybody in one place who is active in this area of philosophy in the Netherlands and Flanders (PhD-students, professors, lecturers, readers, students). This conference is intended for an academic audience interested in philosophy of science in the broadest possible sense. The first edition of Philosophy of Science in a Forest, Spring 2010, was the first with English as the conference language. Contributions in the Dutch language are however not forbidden. Contributions from all over the world are now welcome in English.
Dates: Thursday 23 May, 14:00 h., until Saturday 25 May, 13:30 h.
