The International Society for the History, Philosophy, and Social Studies of Biology (ISHPSSB) invites submissions for the 2025 Marjorie Grene Prize and the 2025 Werner Callebaut Prize.

Both prizes aim to advance the careers of early career scholars in the ISHPSSB community. The prizes are awarded to outstanding manuscripts developed following a talk or poster at one of the two most recent ISHPSSB meetings (CHSL 2021 or Toronto 2023) by presenters who were graduate students at the time of presentation and leading authors.

ISHPSSB named this prize in Marjorie Grene’s honor not only because of her contribution to the history and philosophy of biology, but because she helped create the spirit of interdisciplinarity so fundamental to ISHPSSB. The prize thus honors Grene’s legacy by supporting today’s early career scholars in the history, philosophy and/or social studies of biology.

The prize named in honor of Werner Callebaut celebrates Callebaut’s contribution to the philosophy of biology. His mentorship contributed greatly to ensure that philosophical and scientific work evolve in constructive dialogue and reciprocal respect. The Callebaut prize thus focuses on recognising early career scholars’
