Speakers Dinner
In 2020, after the Central European University (CEU) was forced out of Hungary and moved to Vienna, the idea was born to strengthen the academic ties between this renowned institution and the University of Innsbruck in the field of philosophy. The COVID pandemic, however, delayed any plans for collaborative scientific events. In 2022, we finally want to bring together philosophers from CEU Vienna and LFU Innsbruck to share their research and to get to know each other better. And, of course, to enjoy face-to-face discussions and unconstrained sociability.
This joint symposium will feature different philosophical strands and methodologies and provide insights into cutting-edge research in theoretical as well as practical philosophy. In 15 succinct presentations, faculty and PhD students from both institutions will “showcase” their recent work, promising stimulating debates and novel insights.
Admission is free. We kindly ask to register via marie-luisa.frick@uibk.ac.at
Registered guests will be informed in a timely manner about the COVID-measures that will then apply.
