We invite the submission of extended abstracts (but no longer than 1000 words) for presentations at the international conference on “Relational Normativity: Epistemic and Practical” that takes place at the University of Zurich from 18th to 20th February 2027. The abstracts should be sent to sebastian.schmidt@uzh.ch until August 31st 2026.
The conference will host a series of renowned experts from ethics and epistemology to discuss the role of relational normativity across philosophical disciplines. If your talk gets accepted, travel expenses, including up to three nights at a central hotel in Zurich, flight and train tickets, as well as lunch and dinner, will be covered. We also plan a follow-up project such as an edited volume with a major publisher or a special issue for an academic journal. Accepted talks will be invited as contributions to this follow-up project.
