On the conference
This conference is intended for an academic audience interested in philosophy of science in the broadest possible sense. Every three year, the Dutch Society for the Philosophy of Science (DSPS; in Dutch: Nederlandse Vereniging voor Wetenschapsfilosofie, NVWF), organises this international conference with the central idea to collect everybody in one place who is active in this area of philosophy at an academic level (PhD-students, professors, lecturers, readers) in the Netherlands and Flanders. The first edition of Philosophy of Science in a Forest, Spring 2011, was the first having English as the conference language. Contributions in the Dutch language however remain welcome. Contributions from all over the world are now welcome.
Location: Internationale School voor Wijsbegeerte (ISVW), Leusden, in the forest near Amersfoort, The Netherlands (Amersfoort is about 35 minutes by train from Amsterdam Schiphol Airport). Check details for more information and you route in English on the ISVW.
