HOPOS 2012 Conference
HOSTING HOPOS 2012: Last Call for expressions of interest: This Week!
This is the last week for sending in an expression of interest in hosting HOPOS 2012, the ninth biennial conference of the International Society for the History of Philosophy of Science. All it takes is a quick email to our executive secretary, Will Krieger (krieger@mail.uri.edu). Formal proposals are not due until June 18. If you email Will, he will provide a complete account of our conference requirements that will help you to draft a formal proposal.
HOPOS conferences typically take place over four or five days in June of even-numbered years; there may be some flexibility in timing from late May to early August. Please anticipate that HOPOS attendance will range between 125 and 250 conference delegates, almost all of whom will require accommodation. Information on the size of conference you can host, the costs you might be able to absorb through local fund-raising, the facilities you have available, and similar issues is appreciated.
In accord with its international mission, HOPOS would prefer a North American venue for 2012, but serious proposals from elsewhere will be given every consideration. The Steering Committee would like to make a decision at the HOPOS 2010 meeting in Budapest, which will take place June 24 - 27.
The HOPOS meetings have occurred (or will occur) in the following venues:
1996: Roanoke, VA
1998: South Bend, IN
2000: Vienna
2002: Montreal
2004: San Francisco
2006: Paris
2008: Vancouver
2010: Budapest
