This conference aims to promote ethically responsible and socially beneficial scientific research and technological innovation, primarily through philosophical/humanistic engagement with science, engineering, and medicine and through reflection on their role in society. The conferences goal is also to improve the capacity of philosophers of all specializations to collaborate and engage with scientists, engineers, policymakers, and a wide range of publics, as well as to promote philosophic reflection by these latter groups, and also by historians, humanists, and social scientists about the role of science in society.

We seek proposals for presentations, panels, and discussions for our annual meeting of work that furthers these aims. 

Potential topics include but are not limited to:

Social justice issues in science, engineering, and medicine
Ethics education in science and engineering
Public understanding and communication of science and medicine
