We invite you to the Vilnius Philosophy Graduate Conference – an international event dedicated to MA and PhD students in philosophy. Organized on the occasion of World Philosophy Day, the conference aims to bring together young researchers from different countries, foster academic dialogue, exchange of ideas, and encourage new collaborations.
Over two days, participants will present their research in paper sessions followed by discussions and Q&A, complemented by keynote lectures. The program will feature contributions from diverse areas of philosophy – from analytical to continental, and interdisciplinary perspectives.
The conference seeks to create an open and intellectually stimulating environment in which emerging scholars can present their work, receive constructive feedback, and engage with an international community of peers.
The conference will take place at Vilnius University Aula Parva (Universiteto g. 3, Vilnius), 2nd floor.
