The \;Capacity-Character Project \;brings together researchers from the areas of \;philosophy\, law\, history\, sociology\, as well as psychology and neuroscience \;to study the notions of character and mental capacity. For instance\, one of \;our projects aims to shed light on the moral\, legal and medical significance \;&ndash\; as well as the conceptual and empirical basis &ndash\; of the distinction between \;character flaws and mental incapacities.
\n\nFollowing on from our previous workshop at Macquarie University in Sydney\, \;Australia in July 2011\, we now invite expressions of interest from \;researchers and practitioners in relevant areas who would like to \;participate in the upcoming workshop on May 21st &\; 22nd\, 2012\, at Delft \;University of Technology in The Netherlands. Interested parties should send \;an email to \;info@capacitycharacter.com\, explaining in 350-500 words why they \;are interested in participating in the workshop. Expressions of interest \;must be received by March 5\, 2012\, and applicants will be advised in writing \;by March 19\, 2012 of the success of their application.
\;
Places will be allocated on the basis of how well the applicants&rsquo\; interests \;and background align with the central themes of the \;Capacity-Character Project \;. \;There is no registration fee\, but places will be strictly \;limited to ensure that there is ample time for discussion\, and participants \;must fund their own travel and accommodation should this be required.
