Mind Matters: Navigating Neuroethics in the 21st
Century
Meetings on Neuroscience and Society, XV Edition

Roma Tre University, Rome

Conference Topics
The Conference will
feature sessions on all the research areas in neuroethics.
As neuroethics has always been an interdisciplinary field,
the conference aims at promoting a debate among different
scholars and different research areas.
Contributions can be
experimental, theoretical, analytical, or critical works.
Submission Guidelines and Attendance
Participants can only
send one contribution as first authors, but they can appear
as second authors of other contributions.
Abstracts must be ready
for double blind review and should not exceed 300 words,
plus 10 reference records (that will not be considered in
the word count). Authors should indicate in their submission
whether their contribution is intended as a paper or poster.
Papers will be presented only in person, whereas posters can
be either presented in person or online. Based on reviewers’
reports, a paper could be accepted as a poster rather than
for oral presentation.
For papers, abstracts can
be either in English or in Italian, according to the
language chosen for the presentation. However, since the
audience is international, we warmly encourage submissions
in English.
Best Paper Prize
As in previous years,
SINe will grant two prizes: one for the best paper in
philosophy and one for the best paper in neuroscience. The
authors should upload a longer version of the abstract (up
to 1000 words, references excluded) in the “paper” section,
adding whether they want to participate to the philosophy or
neuroscience best paper prize in the abstract. The lack of
either the selection or of the long abstract will constitute
an excluding condition. The Prizes will consist of 500 euros
each. The selection will be made based on the quality of the
long abstract. The winners will be announced at the
beginning of the conference.
Deadlines and Reviewing Process
The deadline for abstract
submission is February 7, 2024.
Notification of
acceptance will be given by February 29, 2024.
Abstracts will be subject
to blind review. Reviewers will be selected from members of
the Italian Society for Neuroethics and from experts in the
field.
Accepted papers will have
20 minutes for presentation, plus 10 minutes for discussion.
Accepted posters will have a dedicated space online and
during the conference.
All authors of selected
papers and posters will have to subscribe to the
Conference.
