We invite graduate students to submit high quality papers related to the themes of the Carnap-Lectures.

Four selected papers will be presented during a workshop with Susan Carey and Ned Block. Submissions (full papers, no longer than 3000 words) should be sent electronically to Nike Zohm (nike.zohm (at) rub.de) before April 15th, 2012.
