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.
