Calls for Paper

  • 23 - 24 January 2027, Cambridge Graduate Conference on the Philosophy of Mathematics and Logic, St John's College, Cambridge [UK]

    Date: 23 - 24 January 2027
    Location: St John's College, Cambridge [UK]
    Target audience: graduate students
    Deadline: Wednesday 28 October 2026

    Logic and the philosophy of mathematics are central and foundational sub-disciplines in philosophy. However, graduate students working in these areas often struggle to find access to forums in which they can discuss their work with peers. The aim of this conference is to provide graduate students working in these and related areas with such a forum.

    Additionally, the conference has been co-founded by the ILLC's own Luca Incurvati!

    This is an unrivalled opportunity for graduate students interested in logic, philosophy of mathematics, and other formal areas of philosophy to present their work. A representative, but nonexclusive, list of subdisciplines would be: philosophy of mathematics, logic and philosophy of logic, applications of logic to epistemology and metaphysics, formal epistemology, decision theory, and applications of formal methods to the philosophy of science. 

    Papers should be no longer than 4000 words (including footnotes and appendices, excluding references) and suitable for a 40 minute presentation. They should also be accompanied by an abstract of no more than 150 words. The submission deadline is adjusted for the UK time.

  • (New) 23 - 28 August 2027, 2027 Congress of Logic, Methodology and Philosophy of Science and Technology, Kobe [JP]

    Date: 23 - 28 August 2027
    Location: Kobe [JP]
    Deadline: Sunday 15 November 2026

    CLMPST is the premier forum on Logic, Methodology and Philosophy of Science and Technology. Its aim is to bring together active researchers in this broad field. CLMPST has a long history — it started in 1960, and has been held every four years since then in capital cities and/or by leading university centres in this field. Recent previous CLMPST Congresses were held in Buenos Aires (2023), Prague (2019), Helsinki (2015), Nancy (2011), and Beijing (2007).

    Welcomed are papers and symposia from across all areas of logic, philosophy of science, and philosophy of technology. The aim is to feature presentations from across the wide array of topics pertaining to our fields, from mathematical logic to metaphilosophy, from the foundations of the exact sciences to philosophy of the humanities and social sciences, from philosophy of technology to historical perspectives on the sciences, presented by researchers from around the world. CLMPST is particularly enthusiastic about proposals that reach across disciplines, that incorporate speakers from different countries or regions, that explore public engagement and/or social implications of academic work, or that reflect on relationships and contributions of different knowledge systems.

    Location: De Bazel, Vijzelstraat 32, Amsterdam [NL]
    Target audience: teachers
    Costs: free, registration required

    Workshop at the UvA Education Day 2026

    How do you have meaningful conversations with students about AI in public communication? Using Amsterdam's 'AI imagineering' case and the Moral Data City Hunt, you work with concrete dilemmas around AI‑generated imagery, such as trust, inclusion and responsibility. You make underlying values and tensions visible and discover how to use this approach to put academic citizenship into practice by facilitating dialogue and contributing to responsible innovation.
