Call for Contributions
Conference of the Journal Philosophies Intelligent Inquiry into Intelligence will be held online June 10-14, 2025. Participation in the conference does not require any fee, but for logistic reasons, access to its sessions will require registration. The deadline for registration is June 5, 2025. The sessions (all in English) will have the form of oral presentations (of 30 minutes duration including 5 minutes for questions/comments), invited lectures, panel discussions, and poster presentations (carried out in parallel). The qualification for presenting (in oral or poster form) will be based on the review of extended abstracts of submissions with the notifications on the acceptance/rejection sent no later than May 15, 2025.
We invite structured extended abstracts of presented works to be submitted by March 15, 2025.
We welcome your submissions of extended abstracts prepared as explained below to: https://sciforum.net/user/submission/create/1216
More details of the submission procedure can be found in the Instruction for Authors.
The abstracts of 300-500 words in English should include:
- The title of the presentation.
- Intended format of presentation (oral, poster, or either) – the number of accepted oral presentations will be limited, so the choice means a preference that may not be accepted.
- Names and affiliations of all authors.
- Name and email address of the contact author
- A succinct description of the content of the work (as it is an extended abstract, it can include references)
- (Important) Short explanation of the philosophical issues addressed in the work.
The conference has as its main objective to inquire/provide/develop/promote philosophical foundations for the interdisciplinary study of intelligence. This justifies the expectation that all submitted works have significant philosophical content even if this content is not the central subject of the study. For instance, an empirical study may have important consequences for the philosophical questions listed in the Announcement of the conference (or other relevant philosophical questions) justifying the claim of philosophical significance. However, these questions and consequences have to be directly identified in the last part of the abstract.
All accepted extended abstracts will be displayed on the website of the Conference. All presented works can be published without APC but based on peer review in the proceedings soon after the Conference, but the volume of these contributions has to be limited to no more than eight pages. More extensive works without any limit of volume developed from these contributions may be published in Philosophies after the usual peer review carried out by the journal with a discounted APC.

Potential Conflicts of Interest
It is the author's responsibility to identify and declare any personal circumstances or interests that may be perceived as inappropriately influencing the representation or interpretation of clinical research. If there is no conflict, please state "The authors declare no conflicts of interest." This should be conveyed in a separate "Conflict of Interest" statement preceding the "Acknowledgments" and "References" sections at the end of the manuscript. Any financial support for the study must be fully disclosed in the "Acknowledgments" section.
Copyright
MDPI, the publisher of the Sciforum.net platform, is an open access publisher. We believe authors should retain the copyright to their scholarly works. Hence, by submitting an abstract to this conference, you retain the copyright to the work, but you grant MDPI the non-exclusive right to publish this abstract online on the Sciforum.net platform. This means you can easily submit your full paper (with the abstract) to any scientific journal at a later stage and transfer the copyright to its publisher if required.
