CLMPST 2027, the 18th edition of the International Congress of Logic, Methodology and Philosophy of Science and Technology, will take place on Aug. 23 - Aug. 28, at Kobe University.

CLMPST is the premier forum on Logic, Methodology and Philosophy of Science and Technology. Its aim is to bring together active researchers in this broad field. The International Congress of Logic, Methodology and Philosophy of Science and Technology (CLMPST) is organized under the auspices of the Division of Logic, Methodology and Philosophy of Science and Technology of the International Union of History and Philosophy of Science and Technolog (IUHPST/DLMPST).

CLMPST has a long history — it started in 1960, and has been held every four years since then in capital cities and/or by leading university centres in this field. Recent previous CLMPST Congresses were held in Buenos Aires (2023), Prague (2019), Helsinki (2015), Nancy (2011), and Beijing (2007). The 2027 edition will take place at Kobe University in Kobe, Japan.

The Congress Theme, the schedule of call for individual presentation abstracts/symposium proposals, registrations, programs will be announced on this CLMPST website later.

We invite papers and symposia on all topics pertaining to our fields, presented by researchers from all regions and cultures of our academic world.

Words of welcome from the Co-Chairs of the Local Organizing Committee of CLMPST 2027 Kobe:
Aug. 23 (Mon) - 28 (Sat), 2027, Kobe University, Japan
On behalf of the Local Organizing Committee of the CLMPST 2027 Kobe, we would like to express our great pleasure and honor to host the 18th CLMPST and to welcome you. We are very much looking forward to meeting you in Kobe, Japan, in the summer of 2027. Please keep the Congress dates Aug. 23 - Aug. 28 for the 18th edition of CLMPST in Kobe, Japan.

The Japanese research community of Logic, Methodology and Philosophy of Science and Technology has participated in the CLMPST Series since its First edition in 1960 until the 17th Edition in Buenos Aires in 2023. In fact, DLMPST and one of the two Japanese corresponding Associations were born almost at the same time (1954-1955). Our Japanese DLMPST research community has been developed with DLMPST for over 70 yeas. This is the first time for Japan to host CLMPST. Kobe University is one of the leading Universities in this field in Japan. It is easy to access to Kobe University and hotels in Kobe from Kansai International Airport. By trains, it takes only 30 minutes to Osaka, 45 minutes to Kyoto, 3 hours to Tokyo, 2 hours to Hiroshima, for example. We will announce details of the venue/hotels information, and the Congress-related information including a call for papers and symposia, an updated local organizing committee, the program committee, keynotes/invited speakers as well as associated conferences/workshops/academic activities, touristic information, etc.

See you in Kobe in 2027!
