The Summer School Mereology and Beyond will take place at USI, Lugano (Switzerland) from 15 to 19 June 2026. The main instructors will be Achille Varzi (Columbia) and Claudio Calosi (Ca’ Foscari).
Deadline for applications: February 15, 2026.
The summer school provides a thorough survey of both classical mereology and beyond. ‘Beyond’ is articulated in three different ways: by providing alternatives, strengthenings, and extensions of classical mereology. All the sessions investigate both technical details and metaphysical issues that arise from those technical details.
How to apply: Application is open to graduate students and early career researchers. Please send a copy of your CV, a one-page motivation letter and a reference letter from a supervisor or colleague to [email protected].
Accepted participants will have the possibility to send a short abstract for consideration to present some of their research at the summer school.
