The Society has taken the decision not to hold its annual conference in-person in 2021 due to global pandemic. The event, which was to be hosted by University of Antwerp next July, has, therefore, been cancelled. Instead the SAP Annual Conference 2021 will be an online conference taking place over the dates scheduled for the Antwerp event (2 – 4 July). The SAP hopes to host its Annual Conference in Antwerp in 2023.
(Invited participants will be able to confirm or decline participation here.)
Papers will be given on a wide range of topics across the field of applied philosophy.
The keynote speakers will be Alison Hills (Oxford) and Philippe van Parijs (Louvain)
