The Inter-University Centre in Dubrovnik, Croatia hosts a large number of conferences in a wide variety of fields each year. The annual Philosophy of Science Conference runs every April and brings together scholars from east and west Europe and from all over the world. Each year conference themes are chosen, and some of the papers presented may be published in the journal International Studies in the Philosophy of Science. Recent and forthcoming themes

NOTICE TO PARTICIPANTS DATES: April 13 – 17, 2015 THEMES: The three topics for 2015 are: Philosophy of Physics Science, Technology, and Values Philosophy of the History of Science These topics are to be understood very broadly. THE CONFERENCE is run in a very informal fashion. We will make up a schedule in advance, and revise as we go. If you arrive you will be fitted in. It is, however, useful to us to know who is likely to participate, so please let one of the organizers know of your intention to come by March, if possible, and give us a title. That way we can get a good idea of what to expect and can plan accordingly. PRESENTATION: This is an international conference. While English is the working language, it is not the mother tongue of many of your listeners. So, it is more than usually important to be clear. Talks are preferred to readings (PowerPoint projectors, etc. available). The presentation should be roughly 45 minutes, followed by 30 minutes of discussion. THE IUC: Sessions are held at the Inter-University Centre, located just outside the old city. The sessions usually start at 9:30 am. We normally have four talks each day. At your hotel, they can tell you how to get to the Centre. There will be a conference registration fee of about 35 €.
