Call for papers

Physics and Reality: International Conference on Philosophy of Physics
4–6 June 2024, University of Helsinki, Finland
Guidelines for submission

We have received a great number of high-quality abstracts for contributed talks and posters.  However, there is still room for more, especially in the poster session, so if you are interested to contribute, please send your abstract by 31st March 2024.

Physics and Reality 2024 calls for contributed papers/talks and contributed posters under these (and related) themes:
 

  • Interpretations of Quantum Theory
  • Dynamic Approaches to Relativistic Phenomena
  • The Project of Unifying Quantum Theory and General Relativity
  • Extending Quantum Theory to New Domains

 

The notification of acceptance for the abstracts which were submitted by the initial deadline March 4 will be given by Monday, March 18, 2024.

The conference will have a single track only (i.e., no parallel sessions), which means that there will be short contributed talks, in three plenary sessions, one session per day. If there is no space in the plenary programme for a contributed talk, a contributed paper/talk may be offered the possibility to be presented as a poster.

Contributed papers/talks: Please submit an abstract of 300-500 words prepared for anonymous review. Accepted contributed papers will be allocated total 20-30 minutes (15-25 min for the presentation + 5-10 min for the discussion). If there is no space for a talk in the programme, a contributed paper/talk may offered the possibility to be presented in the poster session.

Contributed posters: Please submit an abstract of 300-500 words prepared for anonymous review. Accepted contributed posters will be presented in a separate poster session during the conference (on Tuesday, June 4, 2024). 

Proceedings: Contributed papers/talks and posters will be considered for publication in the proceedings. If accepted, the deadline for the paper is June 30, 2024.
