About the seminar
The First European Advanced Seminar in the Philosophy of the Life Sciences willbe held on the premises of the Brocher Foundation in Hermance (Geneva), September 6–11, 2010.
There will be keynote lectures by invited speakers, presentations and commentaries by senior and junior participants, and ample room for interaction and discussion. We also offer the possibility for participants to publish papers presented in a special issue of the journal History and Philosophy of the Life Sciences. Publication will be subject to the normal peer review process of the journal. The seminar is part of a biennial series, organized by a European consortium of institutions in the philosophy of life sciences in cooperation with the Brocher Foundation. The series aims to acquaint early career researchers with recent innovative trends in the philosophy of the life sciences, to create a platform for developing new programs and projects on a European level, and to facilitate exchange of researchers among European institutions in the field. The First European Advanced Seminar in the Philosophy of the Life Sciences will be dedicated to the theme of causation and disease in the postgenomic era.
