This conference is intended for an academic audience interested in philosophy of science in the broadest possible sense.  The first edition of Philosophy of Science in a Forest, Spring 2011, was the first with English as the conference language. Contributions in the Dutch language are however not forbidden. Contributions in the Dutch language are however not forbidden. Contributions from all over the world are now welcome in English.
