THEMES: 1) Evolution of the brain; how evolutionary theories inform ideas about cognition and behavior.
                 2) Varia: philosophy of neuroscience or neurophilosophy, broadly construed.

In addition to welcoming talks on all topics in philosophy of neuroscience or neurophilosophy, at this year’s meeting we also aim to bring history and philosophy of biology, philosophy of mind, and neuroscience into closer conversation. To this end, we also invite abstract submissions for talks on the topic of brain evolution. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: histories of brain evolution and cross-species comparisons; using evolutionary theory to develop tools to be used to study the brain (e.g. neuro-computational modeling); functional and structural homology of the brain; evolutionary theory as explanation in behavioral and cognitive neuroscience. This workshop is open to historians, philosophers, and scientists working at all levels of investigation, and will continue our tradition of bringing junior and senior scholars together in conversation. We will feature our usual events, including submitted talks, invited speakers, invited neuroscientist keynote lectures, and short “blitz” talks.

Monday, July 10, 2023 - Friday, July 14, 2023
The Summer Program features two daily graduate seminars about core issues and cutting-edge topics in general philosophy of science and philosophy of the special sciences (e.g., physics, biology, cognitive science and neuroscience, social sciences). The seminars and lectures will be given by internationally recognized faculty in the Department of History and Philosophy of Science and the Department of Philosophy at the University of Pittsburgh as well as in the Department of Philosophy at Carnegie Mellon University.
 
Housing, meals, and transportation costs (North American travel only) will be covered, and all course materials provided.
 
Who is it for?
Undergraduate Students who are highly motivated and show strong academic promise and interest in the philosophy of science, including but not limited to:
 
Women
LGBTQIA+
Underrepresented racial/ethnic backgrounds
Students with disabilities
First-generation undergraduates
Undergraduates from groups underrepresented in philosophy of science
 
While this program is designed for students traditionally underrepresented in philosophy of science, all qualified undergraduate applicants will be considered. Past coursework in philosophy of science is not a prerequisite for application to the Summer Program. The University of Pittsburgh, as an educational institution and as an employer, does not discriminate on the basis of disability, race, color, religion, national origin, ancestry, genetic information, marital status, familial status, sex, age, sexual orientation, veteran status or gender identity and expression in its programs and activities

How to Apply:
Before beginning the application process you will need to collect:
 
Cover letter describing your future plans after graduation and your interests in philosophy of science (including the philosophy of physics, biology, cognitive science, neuroscience, social sciences, etc.). Please briefly indicate relevant demographic information (racial/ethnic heritage, gender, etc.)
 
CV (including College/University affiliation, major, GPA, high school, awards & recognition, any philosophy courses taken)
 
Brief writing sample (2,000 words maximum) that will help the selection committee assess your academic and philosophical skills. Typically, but not necessarily, this will be a paper that was written for a college course. Philosophy of science papers are preferable, but a paper on a topic from any discipline will work if no suitable philosophy paper is available. The most effective paper to submit will be the one which best exhibits your academic and philosophical skills. The writing sample can be a selection from a larger paper.
 
One letter of recommendation from a faculty member who is familiar with your work and can speak to your philosophical skills and suitability for this program to be mailed directly to The Center at pittcntr@pitt.edu.
Deadline for applications is March 15, 2023.

Inductive Metaphysics is a comparatively new branch of metaphysics that justifies meta­physical principles by inductive or abductive inferences from empirical evidence, rather than by purely logico-conceptual considerations. This conference intends to give a representative picture of the state of the art in inductive metaphysics and the current debate on this branch of metaphysics. The conference is organized by the DFG-funded research group "Inductive Metaphysics" (FOR 2495) in which more than 30 philosophers from seven German universities explore the prospects and applications of inductive metaphysics.
Please find more information here: http://www.philosophie.hhu.de/im-conference.  
 
There will be nine plenary talks given by Karen Bennett (Rutgers University, USA), Stephen Biggs (Iowa State University, USA), Katherine Brading (Duke University, USA), Anjan Chakravartty (University of Miami, USA), Andreas Hüttemann & Gerhard Schurz (University of Cologne & University of Düsseldorf, Germany), Jenann Ismael (Columbia University, USA), Max Kistler (University of Paris 1, France), Oliver Scholz & Ansgar Seide (University of Münster, Germany), Thomas Uebel (University of Manchester, UK).

Based on market analysis research from our Dermatology conference 2023, The worldwide Dermatology market's revenue growth is being fueled by factors such as rising chronic disease incidence, quick improvements in the healthcare and medical sectors and increased funding from various public and private sectors. Asia-Pacific is predicted to have the greatest CAGR, at 12.3%, due to rising skin disease incidence, increased knowledge of the usage of dermatological medications, rising healthcare costs, and increased use of dermatological products.
