Activities

Activities of the Network

  • We organize joint research seminars and talks with invited researchers, discussion groups, and other coordinated activities such as pre-submission peer-review, a yearly calendar of visits, seminars and talks.
  • Network meetings. Early career researchers and female researchers are well represented among the speakers. There is a session dedicated to exchange of news and the like. Graduate students are especially encouraged to attend.
  • The name notwithstanding, the Network is not an exclusive club: researchers working outside the region are of course most welcome to participate in its meetings, conferences, seminars, and other events.
  • We promote and represent the Network in international events, e.g. East-South-Central European panel at EPSA, ISHPSSB or PSA meetings.
  • We distribute calls for papers, communicate and in general aim to raise the quality and visibility of the publications in the region.
  • We prepare a special issue or a book series with one of the recognized publishers (EJPS, Springer, etc). For instance, our members edited special issues of Organon F and Filozofia nauki with contributions from our conferences.
  • Of course, we also foster publishing in other high ranked journals and publishing houses as well. 
  • We also apply for national and international funding in order to support the Network's activities.

Biannual conferences

Our first biannual conference took place in Sofia (Bulgaria) in the summer of 2016:

EENPS 2016: The Inaugural Conference of the East European Network for Philosophy of Science Sofia, 24-26 June 2016

Our second conference took place in Bratislava, June 20-22, 2018.

Our third conference took place in Belgrade in June 2021.

Our fourth conference will take place in Tartu in August 2022.

In order to keep the organizational burden relatively light, the Network does not, at least at the outset, have funds of its own to award.

Participants (and speakers) at our meetings will therefore have to cover their own expenses.

Local organizers are of course welcome to try to secure funding, and if successful, will distribute this on a needs basis.

If you are interested in organizing a meeting, please volunteer.
