The lake geneva BIOLOGICAL INTEREST GROUP is a forum for discussing biology from a multitude of perspectives, including philosophical, scientific and historical, and was founded in 2012 at the Department of Philosophy of the University of Geneva. Our standing members are based in different institutions at the Universities of Geneva, Lausanne, Bern, and Milan. We consider ourselves to be part of a BIG international movement that includes kindred groups at the University of Minnesota, and the University of Exeter.
Our reunions take place every Tuesday throughout the semester from 12:00 to 13:45 in the coffee room of the Department of Philosophy (room 405A, rue de Candolle 2). We discuss our own research as well as other contemporary philosophical, scientific and historical work that addresses interesting biological issues. Everyone is welcome!
