We are happy to invite undergraduate students to take part in the 3rd Bilkent Undergraduate Philosophy Conference on Saturday, April 20, 2019 at Bilkent Library Art Gallery. The purpose of this conference is to give a chance to the undergraduate students to share their arguments with their peers.
Students from all universities and departments are welcome to participate. Women and members of other historically underrepresented groups in philosophy are particularly encouraged to apply.
We will do our best to arrange accommodation for the participants who apply from outside Ankara, if needed.
Presentations will be of two types: 25-minute talks and poster presentations.
Standard poster size is 36×48 inches (about 91 x 122 cm) or A0. Click here for more information about poster sessions.
Each presenter will receive a certificate of participation.
Faculty members will be available during the conference to answer questions about Bilkent Philosophy’s Master’s program.

1. There is no restriction on subject matter, as long as a philosophical argument is presented.
