Conferences

Each year the Royal Institute of Philosophy offers sponsorship of up to £3,000 for a conference hosted by a university department of philosophy. Philosophy departments are now invited to submit proposals for conferences in 2013 and 2014.

Proposals should be sent to Dr. James Garvey at The Royal Institute of Philosophy, 14 Gordon Square, London WC1H 0AR to arrive no later than 2 April 2012. The Institute’s Conference Committee would wish to make a choice of venues as soon as possible after that date. In coming to a decision, the committee will have regard to previous locations and topics as well as the suitability of the topic proposed for laypeople and professional philosophers. When making a proposal, please indicate whether it would be for 2013 or 2014 or whether either year would be possible.

The conditions of sponsorship are here.
