Italian Society for Analytic Philosophy (SIFA) www.sifa.unige.it

In addition to the SIFA, the conference is supported by the Department of Pedagogy, Psychology, Philosophy, the Doctoral Program in History, Philosophy and Didactics of Science, the research groups “Linguisticamente” and “ALoPHiS” of the University of Cagliari. 

The organisers hope to be able to provide selected speakers with support for meals or accommodation in Cagliari, but encourage participants to apply for travel bursaries etc. from their home institutions, and will be happy to provide accreditation to the conference in support of such applications.
