The conference consisted of three sessions. First, a group of HOPOS scholars reflected on the institutional and intellectual history of philosophy of science, exploring how research centers, departments, ideas and movements have shaped the discipline as we know it today.
Next, a group of contemporary philosophers of science (established researchers, journal editors, society presidents, and research center directors) reflected on the current status of the profession through a series of papers and round table conversations.
Finally, a group of junior scholars offered their vision of what philosophy of science could or should look like in the decades to come. Each session type included contributed papers, with a larger number in the Future session with graduate students or scholars who obtained their PhD.
Organized by Alan C. Love (MCPS, University of Minnesota) and Sander Verhaegh (TiLPS, Tilburg University).
