Scientific merits ‐ organizer of international conferences and workshopsNew directions for studies of explanation, Lund 1998 (together with RebeccaSchweder). I edited the proceedings of this workshop, which was published in Synthese120(1), 1999. The contributors were Alexander Bird, Robert Callergård, Ilpo Halonen,Jaakko Hintikka, Henrik Hållsten, Jan Faye, Johannes Persson, Marcel Quarfood, GerhardSchurz, Rebecca Schweder, Matti Sintonen, and Max Urchs.This conference was, moreover, the starting point for the NOS-HS financed researchproject "Theories of Explanation" with two nodes in Helsinki and Lund and with MattiSintonen and Bengt Hansson as senior researchers. The project ran for three years from2001. During this time we arranged a series of meetings in Finland, Sweden andNorway (and a graduate course in Iceland). The meetings were often in the form ofworkshops with invited participants from the project’s outer network: John Dupré,Alexander Bird, Stathis Psillos, Olav Gjelsvik, and Jan Faye. Petri Ylikoski and I haverecently edited an anthology collecting some of the papers presented during thesemeetings. The book, Rethinking Explanation, was published by Springer 2007 in theseries Boston Studies in the Philosophy of Science vol 252. The contributing authors areAlexander Bird (University of Bristol), Jan Faye (University of Copenhagen), OlavGjelsvik (University of Oslo), Bengt Hansson (Lund University), Henrik Hållsten(Stockholm University), Mika Kiikeri (University of Tampere), Tomi Kokkonen(University of Helsinki), Jaakko Kuorikoski (University of Helsinki), Johannes Persson(Lund University), Stathis Psillos (University of Athens), Rebecca Schweder (LundUniversity), Robin Stenwall (Lund University), Jeroen Van Bouwel (Ghent University),Annika Wallin (SCAS and Lund University), Erik Weber (Ghent University), and PetriYlikoski (University of Helsinki).Forthcoming results in theoretical philosophy, Lund 2002 (together with Ann Tobin).This workshop was the starting point for the British Academy financed network"Metaphysics of Science", which has met in Edinburgh, in 2002 (organised byAlexander Bird); Athens, in 2003 (organised by Stathis Psillos); Reading, in 2004(organised by Alice Drewery); Ghent, in 2005 (organised by Rob Vanderbeeken andErik Weber); and in Birmingham, in 2006 (organised by Helen Beebee). In addition tothose mentioned, the group’s membership includes Anna-Sofia Maurin, James

Ladyman, AnnikaWallin, Paul Noordhof, Rebecca Schweder, Katherine Hawley,Joanna Odrowaz-Sypniewska, Samir Okasha, Emma Tobin, and Stephen Mumford. Forfurther information, see http://logica.ugent.be/MSG/ . I have edited a special issue ofSynthese 2006 together with Alexander Bird. It collects a few of the papers from thesemeetings. The first major publications of the philosophers involved are also justappearing (Mumford’s Laws in Nature, Routledge 2004; Bird’s Nature’s Metaphysics:Dispositions, Laws, and Properties, Oxford UP 2007).Mechanisms, December, Lund 2005. Among the participants were Jon Elster, UskaliMäki, and Carl Craver. This project is to be continued within the project onmechanisms, financed by The Swedish Research Council starting 2008-01-01.Metaphysics of Science (7 th meeting), Lund 2007. (see http://logica.ugent.be/MSG/ )Speakers: Andreas Hüttemann, Erik Weber, Joanna Odrowaz-Sypniewska, StephenMumford, Paul Noordhof, Anna-Sofia Maurin, Robin Stenwall, Samir Okasha,Alexander Bird, Jan Hauska, Markus Schrenk, Rani Lill AnjumSeveral Danish-Swedish risk meetings, "Dansk-svenskt riskmöte" (together with Nils-Eric Sahlin). I arranged the first meeting in Lund in 2001. The latest meeting took placein Lund 2006 with talks by Nils-Eric Sahlin (Lund), Erik Persson (Lund), Karsten KlintJensen (Copenhagen), Kristina Blennow (Alnarp), Gitte Meyer (CeBRA), JohannesPersson (Lund), Birgitte Wandall (KTH), Jonas Clausen (KTH), Rikard Levin (KTH).I have also initiated and been in charge of the Department of philosophy’s Pufendorflectures, with Margaret Boden, David Armstrong, Philip Pettit, John Searle, and PatriciaChurchland as lecturers.I was for many years a member of the Philosophical Society (Filosofiska föreningen) inLund. During this period I invited a number of good philosophers to Lund. Inretrospect I especially remember the talk by D. Hugh Mellor on time travels andAlexander Bird on Inference to the best explanation.
