The 14th CLMPS is organized under the patronage of the French Republic Presidency, the UNESCO, and the French National Commission for the UNESCO.

We are pleased to announce that the 14th Congress of Logic, Methodology and Philosophy of Science website is now open for registrations and submissions. Please register at the following address:

http://www.clmps2011.org/en/registration.html

The deadline for submission has changed, it is now 31 December 2010. The important dates are:

  • Submission deadline: 31 December 2010
  • Notification of acceptance: 31 March 2011
  • Early registration deadline: 30 April 2011

You can either submit an abstract of a contributed paper or a proposal for a contributed symposium (of 3 up to 6 speakers).

We would be glad if you filled the registration form until 30 September 2010 by giving a provisional title of your contribution and the subsection to which it belongs, even if your final abstract is submitted after that date. This does not commit you to anything, but would help the organizers to acquire an early idea of what to expect.
