Fernando Gil International Prize 2019 in Philosophy of Science

The creation of the Fernando Gil International Prize in Philosophy of 
Science was announced by the Portuguese government at the time of his 
death, to honor his memory and work (1937-2006). The Prize was launched as 
a joint initiative of the Portuguese government, represented by the 
Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia (FCT), and the Calouste Gulbenkian 
Foundation (FCG).

The Fernando Gil International Prize, initially awarded annually (in 2010 
and 2011), is now awarded every two years in Lisbon. The 2017 prize was 
awarded to Emily Grosholz, Professor of Philosophy, African American 
Studies and English, and a member of the Center for Fundamental Theory / 
Institute for Gravitation and the Cosmos at the Pennsylvania State 
University.

The Prize intends to acknowledge a work of excellence in the domain of the 
Philosophy of Science, either regarding general epistemological problems 
or particular scientific areas. Science is here understood in a broad 
sense to include mathematics, computer science, medicine, economics and 
the social sciences, as well as the natural sciences such as physics, 
chemistry and biology.

Only original and recent works by a single author, of any nationality or 
professional affiliation, published during the five previous years 
(2014-2018) is considered for the prize.

The recipient of the Prize is requested to deliver an original public
