The first Emerging Ideas in Philosophy of Science conference will take place in Belgrade, in person, on the 18th & 19th of September 2023. The conference will showcase concise-format presentations in the area of philosophy of science. The aim of the conference is to spark discussions appealing to philosophers and non-specialists alike. We are pleased to announce that Jan Sprenger (University of Turin) and Vladan Djordjevic (Belgrade) will be giving the keynote address.

The second day of the conference (19. September) will take place at Kolarac Endowmentt(5 Studentski Trg) in the Music Gallery room.

Transport
Belgrade`s local airport is Nikola Tesla International Airport (BEG). The airport is well connected with Europe and most other destinations around the world. However, it is sometime pricey. As an alternative, if flying from Europe, you can consider Nis Airport (INI) or Kraljevo Airport (KVO). If you are not flying from Europe, sometimes it is cheaper to fly to Budapest (BUD) and take a shuttle bus to Belgrade.
Once in Belgrade, you can reach downtown by one of the many trams and buses that go to downtown. The public transport map can be found here. If you are using the Belgrade`s airport, you can find the directions and means of transport to downtown here.
Lodging
One of the best value for money accommodations in Belgrade is Hostel 360.
