Institute Vienna Circle Summer Program

Duke University participates in an annual two-week summer program at the University Vienna run by the Institute Vienna Circle on the general topic of "Scientific World Conceptions."

This program is directed primarily to graduate students and junior faculty with interdisciplinary interests in topics in the natural and social sciences, the history and philosophy of the sciences and the humanities as embedded in their cultural contexts. Professor Malachi Hacohen (History) is the Duke liaison to the summer program, and each year several graduate students and faculty participate in the program.

The Institute Vienna Circle covers the costs of the stay in Vienna, and funds are available from Duke for travel. HPSTM is pleased to be associated with this program, and encourages its students to consider participating in it.
