PhilInBioMed is both an interdisciplinary institute located at the
University of Bordeaux and an international
network connecting groups and people
working at the interface between philosophy, biology, and medicine,
with the shared conviction that conceptual and philosophical approaches
can make a critical contribution to science and medicine.
Between June 3rd and 7th 2024, PhilInBioMed is organising an
interdisciplinary summer school dedicated to "Philosophy in biology and
medicine". For this, 20 young scholars (Master students, PhD students and
post-docs) from the fields of philosophy of science, the life sciences,
and medicine will come together and learn to use interdisciplinary
methods to address conceptual issues in scientific research.
Course leaders will be present to highlight practical examples of
interdisciplinary partnerships from their career, and to advise and
interact with participants throughout the week. The programme will also
include different formats such as group work, and individual discussions,
designed to further interactions between participants and course leaders.
This summer school is a unique opportunity for young researchers to
develop new interdisciplinary approaches that will benefit them throughout
their career. Participants will not only learn about specific concepts
and scientific advances, but they will also learn to take a new look at
their own subject of research.
