Symposium papers may be posted as an EPSA15 Conference Paper at the PhilSci Archive prior to the meeting. A selection of accepted papers will appear in an edited volume by Springer. Poster SessionGiven the competition for the conference programme, an additional dedicated poster session will be reserved to contributed papers that could not be accepted for presentation for reasons of space although they were considered to be of high quality and of much relevance for the conference. Authors whose papers have been accepted for the poster session will be notified by 30 April, 2015.Submission RulesNo one will be permitted to present more than one paper (either a symposium paper or a contributed paper, including papers jointly authored with others) on the EPSA15 programme. Multiple papers by a single author will not be taken into consideration, and symposium participants may not be involved in more than one symposium proposal. Please note: in addition to being the single author or a co-author of either an accepted symposium paper or of an accepted contributed paper, one can also appear as a co-author in another accepted paper, provided that said person is not the first author of the co-authored paper. Only first authors of accepted papers will be allowed to present at EPSA15, in compliance with the rule above about multiple submissions. EPSA Travel Grants for Graduate StudentsEPSA will award five travel grants (maximally 500 EUR each) to graduate students who have been accepted to present a contributed paper, a contributed poster or a symposium paper at EPSA15 in Duesseldorf.
