Building upon the traditional breadth and live significance of the topics\, the inter- and transdisciplinary diversity of keynote speakers\, and the rich array of themes and program segments\, this year we are appropriately focusing on a comprehensive overview of the symposium series held to date.
\nWith a clear vision directed toward the future of the human person &ndash\; navigating the space of possibilities and challenges found within the bioethical horizons of destigmatization\, empathy\, and inclusion &ndash\; we aim to continue fostering new collaborative networks both domestically and internationally\, as well as various project initiatives in the field of mental health in society.
\nUnited on a platform of pluriperspectivism\, orientational knowledge\, and integrative reflection and action &ndash\; and encouraged by previous gatherings\, a resolute perspective\, and a commitment to following the path of bioethical sensibility &ndash\; our goal this year remains to integrate and spread a culture of empathy\, understanding\, support\, and care!
\nKey conference topics:
\n- Reflections based on experience regarding the state of inclusion and destigmatization in Croatia (and regions) over the past decade
\n- Bioethical foundations and challenges of philosophical practice in Croatia and the region
\n- The relationship between psychotherapy and pastoral care
\n- Bioethics and mental health &ndash\; the intersection of applied ethics and philosophical practice
\n- Spiritual exercises: between mental gymnastics\, psychotherapy\, and the sacrament
\n- Logotherapy: between psychotherapy\, spirituality\, and religiosity
\n- Phenomenology of psychopathology &ndash\; the enactment of interdisciplinary dialogue in the research and practical spheres of mental health and the human psyche
\n- Points of convergence between upbringing\, education\, art\, and the psyche &ndash\; practical examples and guidelines
\nIn addition to the suggested topics\, you are welcome to propose other presentation topics based on your own interests and areas of focus.
\nThe symposium will be held in a hybrid format\, allowing for both in-person and online participation. The official languages of the conference are English and Croatian (including related languages).

Call for papers: Kinds of Intelligence Online Graduate Conference (Saturday\, February 20\, 2027)
\nThe Kinds of Intelligence conference invites interdisciplinary work on what intelligence is and how many forms it can take. We readily call humans\, crows\, octopuses\, ant colonies\, and now large language models intelligent\, yet it is far from obvious that these attributions pick out a single capacity. Is intelligence a general ability that comes in degrees\, or a loose family of specialized competences? Can it be measured apart from the environments and tasks that call for it? What\, if anything\, do biological and artificial systems have in common when we describe them as intelligent? Recent developments in AI have made these questions pressing well beyond philosophy. Our aim is to bring together philosophers\, cognitive scientists\, computer scientists\, linguists\, neuroscientists\, and developmental\, comparative\, and evolutionary psychologists\, among others\, to examine the varieties of intelligence and the concepts we use to study them.
\nWe welcome papers on topics including\, but not limited to:
\nSubmission Guidelines
We invite abstracts of roughly 1\,000 words\, excluding references\, for short papers suitable for a 30 minute presentation\, by graduate students and postdocs. Presenters will be asked to send a recording of their talks a week in advance. The videos should not exceed 20 minutes to allow for 10 minutes of discussion. The papers should be relatively accessible to a cross-disciplinary audience and avoid overly technical discussions of in-house issues and debates.
Submission Deadline: December 14\, 2026
Notifications by: January 10\, 2027
Abstracts should be prepared for blind review and include the title of the paper\; they should make clear both the topic and the main arguments of the paper.

Conference description
\nIt is commonly assumed that individuals\, rather than collectives\, are the primary agents of action. According to ontological individualism\, social phenomena and collective actions are ultimately reducible to the actions and mental states of individuals. In recent decades\, however\, \; philosophers have developed a vibrant debate around collective agency\, noting for instance that certain mutual obligations cannot be reduced to individual duties and that groups can exhibit a unity of intention and action beyond the sum of their members. Much of this discussion has taken place within the analytic tradition.
\nThis conference asks what new insights can be gained by turning to classical and continental philosophy to enrich our understanding of collective agency. We believe that these traditions offer rich\, as yet underexplored\, conceptual resources that can open up fruitful new perspectives on questions of collective intentionality\, action\, and identity. In doing so\, the conference seeks to bridge philosophical traditions that often work in isolation\, bringing continental\, classical\, and analytic thinkers into dialogue around a shared theme. This will be one of the first forums to put figures from phenomenology\, hermeneutics\, personalism\, ancient and classical philosophy in direct conversation with analytic approaches to collective agency &ndash\; a creative synthesis we hope will break new theoretical ground.
\nWe invite contributions from scholars in continental philosophy (especially phenomenology\, hermeneutics\, existentialism\, personalism\, critical theory etc.)\, classical philosophy (e.g. ancient Greek and Roman thought\, medieval philosophy\, Neo-Aristotelian and Neo-Platonic traditions)\, political and social theory\, and related areas. Submissions from analytic philosophers that engage with the aforementioned traditions are also welcome.
\nPossible questions and topics that conference papers might address include\, but are not limited to\, the following themes:
\n·\; \; \; \; \; \; &ldquo\;We&rdquo\; in the individual identity
\n·\; \; \; \; \; \; Relational nature of personhood
\n·\; \; \; \; \; \; Collectives and ontological unity
\n·\; \; \; \; \; \; Categorisation of group agency
\n·\; \; \; \; \; \; Group intentions\, beliefs\, minds
\n·\; \; \; \; \; \; Collective emotions
\n·\; \; \; \; \; \; Individual duties and virtues in relation to groups
\n·\; \; \; \; \; \; Collective justice
\n·\; \; \; \; \; \; Groups and moral responsibility
\n·\; \; \; \; Acting together in politics (solidarity\, civil disobedience\, collective movements)
\n·\; \; \; \; \; \; Institutions\, corporations\, states as unitary agents and minds
\n·\; \; \; \; \; \; Collective identity and play\, art\, culture
\n·\; \; \; \; \; \; &ldquo\;We&rdquo\; in the aesthetic experience
\nConfirmed keynote speakers:
\nThornton Lockwood (University of Florida)
\nSophie Loidolt (TU Darmstadt)

\nSubmission deadline and acceptance notification
\nThe abstracts must be submitted by Monday 1st June 2026.

\nMany human cognitive capacities and processes may be deployed creatively\, from unique choices made for oneself up through novel cultural shifts. Similarly\, large swaths of our daily lives are taken up with performing spontaneous\, on-the-fly\, and unplanned activities that are\, in a word\, improvised. \; Charting out the nature of both creativity and improvisation\, taken individually or together\, remains an open and pressing issue. In this conference\, we will delve into various philosophical\, theoretical\, empirical\, and interdisciplinary issues that are related to creativity and improvisation. A non-exhaustive list of related questions and themes for this topic include:
\n- What is the relationship between improvisation and creativity?
\n- What is the relationship between creative activity and well-being?
\n- What is the best way to model individual and collective creativity?
\n- Is creativity in the arts the same thing as in other domains\, such as in science or business?
\n- What are the pros and cons of different scientific operationalizations of creativity and improvisation?
\n- Provide a conceptual analysis of creativity and/or improvisation.
