Organizers

The 4th Lake Como INEM Summer School is co-organized by the Lake Como School of Advanced Studies, the International Network for Economic Method (INEM), the University of Insubria, and the University of Milan.

For this year’s annual HPS conference, we are seeking a variety of perspectives on the phenomenon of “scientific expertise”: How have sciences, expertise, and the state been co-constitutive and mutually reinforcing? How have (and how do) practices of quantification and categorization contribute to colonial expansion and reification of racial hierarchies? How can we assess “good judgment” within scientific practices? Can such assessments be articulated and generalized to domains “outside the lab,” or are they inevitably “tacit” and context-specific? What are the tensions and synergies between scientific and religious epistemologies and authorities?

We are currently accepting submissions for twenty-minute papers and for posters. Abstracts should be approximately 500 words for papers and 100 for posters. 

Abstracts are due January 31st, 2026. Submit here. 

The POBAM Workshop showcases new, innovative, interdisciplinary and collaborative work in the philosophy of biology. Submissions can be on any topic in the philosophy of biology, biologically oriented philosophy of science, or philosophically-informed biology. POBAM 2026 will be held at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, August 12-14. Keynote speakers include Yasmin Haddad (Université du Québec à Montréal), Rose Novick (University of Washington) and Anne Pringle (UW Madison, Botany).

For 2026, you may submit a proposal for either a long talk (40 min talk, 20 min Q&A), short talk (20 min talk, 10 min Q&A), or a poster. 

Abstract submissions may be up to 500 words and must be prepared for blind review. Please indicate in your submission whether you are applying for a long talk, short talk, or lightning talk + poster. Also, indicate if you wish to be considered for another category of talk if you are not selected for the one you prefer.

We also welcome submissions of proposals for professional development sessions. These might include any number of topics related to pedagogy, community, or our profession. Please indicate in your proposal whether you would be willing to lead a session of this type. We particularly encourage junior scholars to suggest professional development session topics, without the expectation that they will organize them. 

The deadline for submissions is Feb 23, 2026.
