PhilInBioMed<\/u><\/a> is both an interdisciplinary institute located at the University of Bordeaux<\/a><\/u> 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.<\/p>\n

Between June 1st<\/sup> and 5th<\/sup> 2026<\/strong>, PhilInBioMed is organising an interdisciplinary summer school on the topic of \u201cPhilosophy in biology and medicine.\u201d Over the course of a week, around 25 young scientists (Master students, doctoral candidates and post-doctoral fellows) from the fields of philosophy, life sciences and medicine will come together and learn to address conceptual questions in scientific research using interdisciplinary methods.<\/p>\n

Experienced researchers from philosophy and biomedical fields will be present to share practical examples of interdisciplinary collaboration from their careers and to advise and interact with participants throughout the week. An important part of the summer school is a research activity in which groups of participants work together with experts on the different steps of a \u201cPhilosophy in Science\u201d project. The programme also includes social activities, \u201cspeed dating,\u201d and plenty of opportunity for informal discussions to promote exchange between participants.<\/p>\n

This summer school is a unique opportunity for young researchers to develop new interdisciplinary approaches that will benefit them throughout their careers. Participants will not only learn about specific concepts and scientific advances, but also how to view their own field of research from a new perspective.<\/p>\n
