The
German Society for Philosophy of Science (Gesellschaft für
Wissenschaftsphilosophie – GWP) was founded in September 2011 with the
aim to better integrate the community of philosophers of science and
scientists interested in philosophy of science in Germany and thereby to
promote the field at a local and international level. The GWP organizes
an international conference every three years. Our third conference
will be hosted by the Universität zu Köln in February 2019.
Contributed
papers are invited to all fields of philosophy of science. Contributed
papers will be clustered into parallel sessions focusing on particular
themes or special sciences.
We
welcome proposals for individual papers (30 min plus 10 min discussion)
or symposia (3 speakers in a combined 2-hour session). Graduate
students are especially encouraged to submit proposals for either
individual papers or symposia. All proposals have to be submitted
electronically through the EasyChair system. Please note that first time
users have to register as users of EasyChair.
Proposals for individual papers:
Please submit your proposal for an individual paper either as an
“extended abstract” or as an attached PDF (especially if it contains
formal symbols), but not both. Proposals for papers should include the
title and abstract (up to 500 words). Please ensure that your abstract
does not contain information that communicates your identity to the
reviewers. Fill in the author information into the "Author Information"
box; this information will not be accessible to the reviewers. All
submissions will be subjected to a blind refereeing procedure.
Symposium proposals:
Submit your proposal for a symposium as an attached PDF. Symposia
proposals should include the symposium title, a description of the
symposium’s rationale (up to 500 words) and for each of the 3 speakers
the title and abstract (up to 500 words). Please prepare your symposium
proposal for blind review. Fill in the author information into the
"Author Information" box for all three speakers of the symposium (and
for the organizer if (s)he is different from the speakers); this
information will not be accessible to the reviewers. The organizer of
the symposium should be the corresponding author (check the box).
No
one will be permitted to present more than one paper at the GWP.2019.
The recommended conference language is English, but German contributions
will also be considered. If you are a graduate student, please indicate
this by adding "(graduate student)" in the field "organization" of
"Author information" after the name of your organization.
