A very appreciative thanks to ISHPSSB for selecting the 5th European Advanced School in the Philosophy of the Life Sciences (EASPLS) as one of their Off-Year Workshops 2018.
The event on the topic of "Interdisciplinarity in the Life Sciences and their Philosophy" was organized by Sabina Leonelli and Thomas Reydon and was held from 10 to 14 September 2018 at the KLI (Klosterneuburg near Vienna, Austria). The event was dedicated to the memory of Jean Gayon, an exceptional scholar, historian and philosopher of biology and one of the founding fathers of EASPLS. His intellectual curiosity, kindness, and philanthropy will not be forgotten. The school will continue the spirit of mentoring junior researchers and fostering interdisciplinary discourse.
The EASPLS is characterized by its unique format: the schedule mixes presentations of senior researchers and presentations by PhD students and young post-doctoral researchers. The format accommodates presentations on full papers, commentaries on senior researchers’ presentations, and contributions to roundtable discussions moderated by senior researchers. More details concerning the topic and speakers could be read on the webpage of the KLI. Travel grants for graduate students accepted by the program committee were be provided by ISHPSSB.
