In recent years\, many researchers working in the philosophy of science have become more and more interested in scientific practices. This so-called &ldquo\;practice turn&rdquo\; seeks to replace or amend the attention traditionally given to scientific theories (their structure\, content\, and ontological status) with a focus on the practical activities carried out by physicists\, chemists\, biologists\, mathematicians etc. in their day-to-day work (cf. Mancosu 2008\, Hü\;ttemann 2021\, Soler et al. 2022).
\nThese developments have in common their reliance on the notion of &lsquo\;scientific practice&rsquo\;. But what exactly is a scientific practice? What is the relation between scientific practice and scientific theory? Are there\, in fact\, no theories\, but only bits of &ldquo\;theory-shaped practices&rdquo\; (cf. French 2020\, Baird 2003)? The current workshop aims to address concerns of this kind by raising a broad philosophical question: \;What do we talk about when we talk about scientific practices?
\nThe workshop is organized by \;Daian Bica\, and \;Paul Hasselkuß\; \;(Dü\;sseldorf). It is generously supported by the \;Department of Philosophy\, the \;Faculty of Arts and Humanities\, Heinrich Heine University Dü\;sseldorf\, \;the German Society for Analytic Philosophy\, and by \;Prof. Dr. Markus Schrenk \;(Dü\;sseldorf).
