Inter-University Centre in Dubrovnik, Croatia, 21-25 April, 2014
The conference runs along similar lines to the Dubrovnik Philosophy of Science Conference held earlier in April each year. This means that we shall not be asking those wishing to attend for copies of their papers in advance, but we do ask for a title and a brief abstract by March 20. We’ll notify all those who provide abstracts as to whether their proposals have been accepted within a couple of days of that deadline at the latest, and earlier where possible. We’ll then circulate a draft of the programme to participants prior to the opening session, making adjustments if necessary to accommodate the schedules of those arriving late or departing early. There will be six hour-long sessions each day, with a lengthy lunch break (3 hours) to allow participants to continue their discussions at a restaurant or other place of hostelry in the Old Town, or to explore the city. Presentations in regular sessions should be no longer than 40 minutes. Graduate students and those wishing to present shorter papers can give 20 minute presentations, with two such events taking up a single one-hour slot in the programme.
We are unfortunately not able to pay any expenses for participants, but hope this will not prove too much of a discouragement. Participants should be able to obtain very reasonable accommodation at hotels frequented by other participants at IUC conferences – details can be provided to those interested. There will also be a small conference fee in order to cover our obligations to the IUC for the use of the conference centre.
If you are interested in participating in the conference, please send a title and a brief abstract to David Davies at david.davies@mcgill.ca by March 20th 2014 at the latest. For further information, or if you are interested in attending, but not presenting at, the conference, please also contact David Davies at the same e-adress
