Die Gesellschaft für Wissenschaftsphilosophie (GWP) strebt an, die Wissenschaftstheorie in deutschsprachigen Ländern zu unterstützen und international zu vertreten. Seit ihrer Gründung im Jahre 2012 organisiert die GWP dreijährlich eine Konferenz.
ZIWIS, Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) Erlangen, Deutschland
Call for Papers & Call for Symposia
Our fifth conference will be hosted by the FAU Kompetenzzentrum für interdisziplinäre Wissenschaftsreflexion (ZIWIS) at FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg and co-hosted by its Institut für Philosophie from 24th until 26th of March 2025. The ZIWIS (www.ziwis.fau.de) pursues the goal of understanding philosophy of science in an application-oriented way and linking it with other areas of science studies, which is characterized by the concept of “Wissenschaftsreflexion” (“reflection on science”).
We welcome proposals for individual papers (30 min plus 10 min discussion) or symposia (3 speakers in a 2-hour session). Graduate students are especially encouraged to submit proposals for either individual papers or symposia. All proposals will be submitted electronically here.
Please note that each person can only present one paper at the GWP.2025 (whether individual or as part of a symposium; co-authorship of papers presented by others is possible). The recommended conference language is English, but contributions in German will also be considered.
Please submit this template if you intend to organize a symposium: Proposal for Symposium.
Contributed papers are invited from all fields of philosophy of science as well as from the history of science, science & technology studies (STS), and other related disciplines. Contributed papers will be clustered into parallel sessions focusing on particular topics or special sciences.
