Call for Abstracts – Annual Conference of the Israeli Philosophical Association

We are pleased to announce that the annual conference of the Israeli
Philosophical Association will be held this year on Thursday, July 9, 2026,
hosted by the forthcoming University of Kiryat Shmona in the Galilee.

We warmly welcome proposals in one of three formats: a single lecture
abstract, a panel proposal, or a Conexus discussion proposal, in Hebrew or
English, in all areas of philosophy. The deadline for submissions is March 8th,
2026.

Abstracts should be submitted using the form at the following link:

For any questions or inquiries, please contact the email address:

Submission Guidelines

Single Lecture Proposals

Proposals for a single lecture should not exceed 500 words and should be
prepared for anonymous review. Please do not include any identifying
information in the abstract.

Panel Proposals

Panel proposals should consist of a subject, introduction (up to 100 words),
and the names, affiliation, and abstract of three or four presenters (each up to
300 words).

Conexus Proposals

Conexus proposals (composed of several short “Ignite talks”) should include
the central question, a common introduction (approximately 150 words), a
short abstract of each participant's answer to this question (approximately 150
words), and, additionally, a response of one or two participants to their
colleagues' answers (approximately 150 words).

The session's composition must be heterogeneous, with at least one emeritus
and one junior researcher or student among the three or four speakers. The
session will consist of two rounds (7-minute opening and 7-minute response),
followed by a 30-minute joint discussion with the audience.

All proposals should be written in a detailed, clear, and compelling manner so

that readers from outside your specific field can easily understand them. Single
lectures are limited to 20 minutes plus a 10-minute Q&A. “Ignite Talks” are
shorter (two rounds of 7 minutes plus 30-minute Q&A) yet will be encouraged
this year, in the hope of increasing diversity. Unless stated otherwise, we will
assume that the presentations will be given in the language of their abstracts.

We aim to strengthen communal ties among philosophers. Therefore, the
conference will not be held online (on Zoom). Please prepare to arrive in
person in advance.
