The Philosophy Institute of Universidad Austral offers three grants to participate in the Interdisciplinary Research Week “From the Brain to the Self”, that will be held in Buenos Aires, from July 31st to August 3rd of 2017, sponsored by the Templeton World Charity Foundation.

We will give 3 grants of up to $ 1,500 each to help cover travel and lodging expenses in Buenos Aires. Those interested in attending should send their application by May 12th, 2017 to filosofia@austral.edu.ar with the following documentation:

The postulants to the grants may be PhD students, recent PhD, and academics researching the areas of cognitive science, philosophy, or theology, whose research projects show an explicit interest in interdisciplinary research in cognitive science and philosophy/theology.

We will select the best three applications according to: 1) the relevance of the subjects studied by the candidates, according to the topics taht will be discussed in the Interdisciplinary Research Week, and 2) the academic curricula of the candidates (publications, teaching experience, participation in academic meetings).
