About the Network
Aim
The aim of the Danish Network in Philosophy of Science is to provide a forum for collaboration among philosophers of science through regular meetings, invitation and exchange of visitors, and funding for conference participation and linguistic revision of research publications.
Activities in the network serve to promote new and lasting research collaboration among Danish philosophers of science and with international partners, promote the participation by Danish philosophers of science in high ranking international conferences, and support research processes that can lead to publications in high ranking international journals.
Focus of the network is primarily on philosophy of the natural sciences (including mathematics).
The network has been supported by the Danish Council for Independent Research ǀ Humanities (2013-2016).
