The Asian Philosophy of Science Association invites submissions for its inaugural biennial conference, APSA26, to be held at Nanyang Technological University in Singapore on 22-24 July 2026. The keynote speaker will be Prof. Craig Callender (UCSD).
The conference will feature contributed talks covering all subfields of the philosophy of science and will bring together philosophers of science from Asia and overseas. To highlight, especially, the works of early career scholars from or based in Asia, we are instituting the APSA Early Career Essay Prize. The winner of the essay prize will be given the opportunity to present their work at an hour-long plenary session, will have their paper published in APSA26: Selected Papers, and will also receive up to SGD2500 to cover their travel expenses.
A limited number of APSA travel grants, of up to SGD1000 each, will also be available to early career scholars, with priority given to those from or based in Asia, in temporary positions, and who are either graduate students or ≤ 5 years from the date of their PhD defence.
The conference has ten sections:
- General Philosophy of Science
- History and Philosophy of Science
- Philosophy of Technology (including Artificial Intelligence)
- Philosophy of the Physical Sciences
- Philosophy of the Chemical Sciences
- Philosophy of the Life Sciences
- Philosophy of the Brain and Cognitive Sciences
- Philosophy of the Social Sciences
- Formal Philosophy of Science
- Philosophy of Logic and Mathematics
The APSA26 Program Committee, headed by Eugene Y. S. Chua (NTU), will strive for quality, inclusivity, and diversity on the program. Selected papers will be included in APSA26: Selected Papers, an edited volume to be published by Springer as part of the Asian Studies in the Philosophy of Science.
