All those who have sent in abstracts for the conferences will receive a confirmation of their acceptance by the 28th April 2008.
ATTENTION: abstracts will only be accepted from conference participants, therefore abstracts must be sent in after registering for the conference (even if payment has not been received).
Following numerous requests, we have decided to hold some of the conference talks in Italian as well.
By doing this, we are taking into consideration that this event is an opportunity to increase the knowledge of international philosophical practice in
So all of the conference talks will be in English, but some of the seminars and workshops will be held in Italian as well. Consequently, abstracts and other contributions (which must all be sent in English) can also be sent in Italian, too.
The conference blog will also reflect this bilingualism, hence the first comment of each post will be the Italian version of the post itself.
In seguito alle numerose richieste pervenuteci, abbiamo accolto la domanda in merito alla possibilità di svolgere alcuni lavori della conferenza anche in italiano.
Considerando che questo evento è un’occasione unica per diffondere in Italia la pratica filosofica internazionale e, nell’altro senso, per far conoscere al mondo la pratica filosofica italiana, ci è sembrato giusto rispecchiare questa doppia direzione anche nell’organizzazione della conferenza.
Quindi tutti i lavori della conferenza si terranno in lingua inglese, ma alcuni seminari e workshop verranno riproposti in italiano. Di conseguenza, gli abstracts e gli altri contributi (che devono essere spediti tutti in lingua inglese) potranno pervenire anche in versione italiana.
Anche il blog si adeguerà al bilinguismo della conferenza, e mostrerà la versione italiana di un post come primo commento al post stesso.
Thanks to your comments and observations, we have been able to 'fine-tune' a few organisational aspects of the conference. In particular:
1) The addition of a 'accompanying fee': as many participants will be accompanied by partners and family, we have arranged a sort of 'registration fee' for them, too. This offers all the same benefits - special prices and discounts on meals, entertainment, travel and accomodation - as those given to conference participants, with the exception of attending the actual conference itself and the welcome cocktail. It is not obligatory to pay the 'accompanying fee', but if you choose not to, prices for these things must be paid in full.
2) Bank charges: the conference fee must be paid in full - participants must make sure they cover any bank transfer charges.
3) Conference timing: in order to facilitate the organisation of the conference programme, we would like to stipulate that there will be only two types of seminars: Lectures - which will last 45 minutes; and Practical Workshops - which will last 90 minutes. We would appreciate it if participants interested in sending in contributions could take this timing into consideration when preparing their material.
4) Conference flyer: we now have an official flyer for the conference! This can be downloaded and printed from the 'Programme' page on the conference web site. (404 KB in PDF format).
Finally, we would like to remind you that in order to take advantage of the special accomodation offers, it is necessary to have received confirmation of your registration (and payment) for the conference first.
