Conferences and Workshops
The GAP actively supports conferences and workshops in three ways:
Conferences
The GAP organises a large triennial international congress. For more information, see conferences.
Doctoral Workshops
Every year the GAP organises a workshop for PhD students, where PhD candidates working on a selected topic can confer with one another, present their projects and receive feedback from university teachers working in analytic philosophy. For more information, see doctoral workshops.
GAP lecture series
The Society for Analytic Philosophy enables GAP members to organise and finance a lecture series open to all members and to advertise it via the GAP channels (newsletter, website). For more information, see GAP lecture series.
Funding
The GAP supports conferences and congresses that are directly related to analytic philosophy. As a general rule, only conferences at an institution in the German-speaking world will be funded. Additional criteria for financial support are the promotion of young researchers and inclusion. The application deadline for financial support of conferences is the deadline of the previous quarter of the event (see the deadlines below). Also, not that only GAP members are entitled to apply. It should also be noted that a maximum of one proposal per organiser is granted in each calendar year. A conference is usually funded with no more than 600 Euros. The granted funds should not exceed 50% of the total costs. The GAP does not cover fees for speakers or costs that can be covered by other means (e.g., travel and accommodation expenses). The GAP seeks to contribute to the coverage of costs that are usually not reimbursed by other institutions (e.g., catering and advertisement costs). Please note that our conference funding stems exclusively from membership fees (part of which comes from our student members). Due to a high number of funding requests and limited funding resources, we therefore ask you, particularly in cases of events funded via larger projects, to check before submitting your application whether the planned items can be covered by project funds.
Applications for funding should include the following information:
- Organizer(s) of the conference
- Topic of the conference with a brief explanation
- Location (in the German-speaking world) and time
- Invited participants
- Planned funding
- Requested amount and intended use
