*Travel scholarships for PhD Students *
Thanks to support from IFiS/GSSR, via the NAWA grant *PROM Short-term
academic exchange* (in Polish, *PROM- Krótkookresowa wymiana akademicka; *
BPI/PRO/2024/1/00020/DEC/1), we can award up to 10 travel grants for PhD
students at universities outside Poland to attend the conference and
present a talk or poster. Please see the conference website for the Call
for Applications for these scholarships, which promotes equal opportunity
for people with disabilities, and adequate gender representation.
Successful applications will be selected on the basis of: (i) quality of
the proposed talk or poster, as judged by the ESPP expert reviewers’ report
on the anonymised abstract you submit when applying to speak at the
conference; (ii) NAWA PROM’s eligibility rules (see the Call for
Applications).
*Submission instructions for papers, posters and symposia*
The deadline for all submissions is 3rd March 2025. Submissions should be
made online via EasyChair:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=espp2025
Papers should be designed to be presentable within 20 minutes (for a total
30 minutes session). Submissions should consist of a long abstract of up to
1000 words (excluding bibliography). If required, an additional page of
tables and/or graphs may be included. A submission for a poster
presentation should consist of a 500-word abstract.
When submitting your paper or poster online, please first indicate the
primary discipline of your paper (philosophy, psychology, or linguistics)
and whether your submission is intended as a paper or a poster. Submitted
papers may also be considered for presentation as a poster if space
constraints prevent acceptance as a paper or if the submission is thought
more suitable for presentation as a poster. All paper and poster
submissions (whether abstracts or full papers) should be in .doc or
PDF-format and should be properly anonymized in order to allow for blind
refereeing.
Each person may present only one paper during the conference’s parallel
sessions, though you may be a co-author of more than one paper. If you
submit multiple single-authored papers only one will be accepted. This
includes contributions to submitted symposia.
Symposia are allocated a two-hour slot and consist of a set of four linked
papers on a common theme or three linked papers with an introduction.
Symposia should include perspectives from at least two of the three
disciplines represented in the society (philosophy, psychology and
linguistics). Submissions should be made by symposium organizers (not
speakers).
When submitting a symposium proposal online, your submissions should
include the following three elements in a single PDF: (1) A list of 3 or 4
speakers which indicates representation of at least two disciplines
(individual speakers may also represent multiple disciplines). (2) A
general abstract of up to 500 words, laying out the topics to be addressed
and indicating connections among the talks (3) Individual abstracts of up
to 500 words and provisional titles for each talk. Please do not submit
more than one PDF file per symposium.
*General Aim*
The aim of the European Society for Philosophy & Psychology is to promote
interaction between philosophers and psychologists on issues of common
concern. Psychologists, neuroscientists, linguists, computer scientists and
biologists are encouraged to report experimental, theoretical and clinical
work that they judge to have philosophical significance; and philosophers
are encouraged to engage with the fundamental issues addressed by and
arising out of such work. In recent years ESPP sessions have covered such
topics as theory of mind, attention, reference, problems of consciousness,
introspection and self-report, emotion, perception, early numerical
cognition, spatial concepts, infants’ understanding of intentionality,
memory and time, motor imagery, counterfactuals, the semantics/pragmatics
distinction, comparative cognition, minimalism in linguistic theory,
reasoning, vagueness, mental causation, action and agency, thought without
language, externalism, hypnosis, and the interpretation of
neuropsychological results.
