At the biennial conference, the EPSA awards a €500 prize for the best paper presented by a graduate student. The purpose of the EPSA in making this award is to highlight the quality and variety of philosophical work carried out by our student members and to encourage junior scholars to pursue a research career in philosophy of science.

The winner of the Graduate Student Essay Prize is announced at the General Assembly, and the prize-winning paper is automatically considered for publication in the European Journal for Philosophy of Science.
