Topic
Following a successful first meeting in Brussels in October 2023, we invite abstracts for the Second HPS of Biodiversity Meeting, to be held in Copenhagen, Denmark, from April 30 to May 2, 2026. This conference aims to bring together scholars from philosophy of science, history of science, sociology of science, environmental history, and beyond, to reflect on biodiversity in the broadest sense. We welcome contributions that reflect on the conceptualization, quantification, classification, measurement, valuation, crisis, and conservation of biodiversity, as well as on its historical trajectories, imaginaries, epistemic practices, institutional framings, sociopolitical contexts, and cultural meanings.

We encourage submissions from early-career and underrepresented scholars. Limited financial support will be available to assist presenters who would otherwise be unable to attend.

Abstract submission and deadline
Abstracts of 200-500 words should be submitted through: https://tinyurl.com/hpsbio. The deadline for submissions is Friday, November 7, 2025. Acceptance decisions will be communicated in late November or early December, 2025. The conference language will be English.

Organization and inquiries
This conference is organized by Federica Bocchi and Joeri Witteveen and will be held at the Carlsberg Academy in Copenhagen, with generous support from the Independent Research Fund Denmark and the Carlsberg Foundation. For enquiries, please contact Joeri Witteveen (j...@ind.ku.dk).
