The Summer School is distinguished by its conference-like nature: Papers read by young scientists alternate with invited lectures by senior researchers and critical discussions. The speakers can rely on qualitatively high-grade commentaries and inputs from the participants. The young scientists taking part will be given the opportunity of presenting their planned doctoral thesis and of bringing them up for discussion, of exchanging viewpoints with one another, and of making contacts. As a far-reaching aim, the Summer School intends to found an international network of young scientists in the fields of epistemology and science theory and to establish it on the longer term.

We invite young scientists who find interest in the subject description to apply for reading a paper. The papers can discuss empirical as well as theoretical questions. Please submit an exposé of your paper (500 - 800 words) until May the 15th at the latest.

We would like to encourage those who concern themselves with these questions in their work, but aren't able to read a paper to apply as a discussion partner. To this end, please submit your CV as well as a short description of the current focus of your research / or your planned doctoral thesis (max. 200 words) until May 15th 2010 at the latest.

We will communicate the acceptance or rejection of the abstracts until May 28th at the latest.

Please send your proposals to Simon Pfersdorf.

The organizers are trying to acquire partial-cost scholarships to help pay the particpants' travel expenses and accomodations. The award of such scholarships can, however, not be guaranteed. We would also very much like to draw your attention to the DAAD (the German student exchange service) training course scholarships for students - scholarships which support participants in training courses offered by institutions of higher learning and by scientific organizations abroad in European countries.
