The European Network for the Philosophy of the Social Sciences (ENPOSS) invites submissions to its 15th Conference. Contributions from all areas in the philosophy of the social sciences are encouraged, as well as submissions from both philosophers and social scientists.

Submissions
Contributions can be either individual papers or special-theme panels, and must be submitted through the online submission system at: https://easychair.org/conferences?conf=enposs2026.  Only one submission per person will be considered.

Deadline for submission: 1 March, 2026
Notification of acceptance: 1 May, 2026

For individual paper submissions, an abstract of 800-1000 words, suitably prepared for blind review, should be submitted.
For submission of a panel on a specific topic (including book symposia), comprising 3 to 4 papers, a single document must be uploaded. It must contain the panel title, the name of the organizer(s), the names of all contributing authors and titles of their papers, a general abstract of the panel’s topic (between 400 and 500 words), plus an abstract of every individual paper (between 500 and 600 words each).
Each submission, whether an individual paper or a symposium, will be reviewed blindly by two members of the Scientific Committee.


Publication
Selected papers from the conference will be published in a special issue of the journal Philosophy of the Social Sciences. The invited manuscripts should be submitted by the end of September.
