TiPS Discussion Lab 2025
An online philosophy of science discussion group and blog

This interactive workshop is open to students and early-career researchers interested in exploring the role of philosophy and science in contemporary society. Each year, we select a set of themes to read and discuss together in online meetings, where participants share reflections and engage in critical dialogue. Beyond the workshop, participants are encouraged to contribute blog posts, comments, or other forms of writing to keep the conversation alive and make our discussions accessible to a wider audience.

TIPS Visiting Programme 

TIPS believes in the value of intellectual collaboration, and we welcome expressions of interest in the areas of research promoted by the centre from academics from different countries at different levels of seniority.
Prospective TIPS visitors are asked to approach one of the centre research coordinators in their area of expertise/interest, who – upon acceptance – will then become their ‘sponsor’ for the duration of their stay. Visitors are expected to attend Centre events, participate in Centre activities, contribute to the TIPS seminars and colloquia, and generally contribute to the intellectual life of the centre, of the Department of Philosophy and Cultural Heritage (DFBC) and of Ca’ Foscari University of Venice.
The duration of visits can vary up to one academic year. There will be two selections per year (one in each semester), plus a number of ad hoc admissions (assessed case by case). There are no centre bursaries attached to visits. Funding opportunities can be discussed with individual prospective sponsors.
