Scientific collaboration
From the very beginning the archival partnership between Konstanz and Pittsburgh was accompanied by a scientific exchange and cooperation. The Center for Philosophy of Science at the University of Pittsburgh and the former Zentrum Philosophie und Wissenschaftstheorie at the University of Konstanz financed and organized a regular Symposium and the edition of a publication series in the philosophy of science.
