This conference invites graduate students working in any area of philosophy to present and discuss their current research. It targets especially doctoral candidates from the University of the Greater Region network: University of Liège, Université de Lorraine, University of Luxembourg, Saarland University, RPTU Kaiserslautern-Landau and Trier University. In that way, participants get to know their peers in the cross-border region and establish cooperation.
Besides, the conference features two keynote speeches given by Prof. Brigitte Falkenburg from TU Dortmund and Prof. Hans-Johann Glock from the University of Zürich.
Attending the conference is free but on registration only, limited spots.
