What is DLMPST (dlmps.org)?

DLMPST is the Division of Logic, Methodology and Philosophy of Science and Technology, a division of the International Union of History and Philosophy of Science and Technology (IUHPST). Its website, dlmps.org, serves as the organizational hub for the field: it publishes calls for the division's congresses and prizes, lists the council and commissions, and provides the statutes and history of the division. If you are a researcher in logic, philosophy of science, or philosophy of technology looking for the next congress, a nomination process, or a small conference grant, this is the entry point.

What the division does

The site describes DLMPST as representing logic, methodology, and philosophy of science and technology within IUHPST. Its visible activities fall into three categories:

• Congresses. The division organizes the Congress for Logic, Methodology, and Philosophy of Science and Technology (CLMPST). The site links to past congresses (2019 and 2023) and announces the 2027 congress in Kobe, Japan, scheduled for August 23–28.
• Grants. A "Small conference grants [LOGIC]" section indicates the division supports smaller meetings in the field.
• Prizes and governance. The site hosts the IUHPST Essay Prize in History and Philosophy of Science and the call for nominations to the DLMPST Council and Officers.

Key dates and open calls listed on the site

For the 2027 congress, the call welcomes papers and symposia across logic, philosophy of science, and philosophy of technology—from mathematical logic to metaphilosophy, and from foundations of the exact sciences to philosophy of the humanities and social sciences. The organizers state particular interest in proposals that cross disciplines, include speakers from different countries or regions, address public engagement or social implications, or reflect on different knowledge systems. Questions go to Kevin Elliott ([email protected]) or Fenrong Liu ([email protected]).

How the site is organized

The navigation reflects the division's structure: Council Members, Contacts, Commissions, Interest Groups, Statutes, History, and the congress pages. A login area and a documents/memorandum section also appear. If you need the formal rules of the division or the composition of its governing bodies, the Statutes and Council pages are the places to start; if you are preparing a submission or nomination, the relevant call page carries the deadlines and contact addresses.
