UBIAS conference on "Scientific and Academic Knowlegde"

Papers for this conference could include the generation of new kinds of knowledge, its translation across disciplines, its dissemination to broader communities, and other topics that engage scholars from institutes for advanced study in cross-cultural, cross-institutional, cross-disciplinary substantive discussions.

The papers will be published in a Peter Wall Institute working papers series. The Peter Wall Institute for Advanced Studies will host the meeting venues and meals, public events, and accommodation of all the speakers and steering committee members. Travel will be covered by each Institute for their scholars. A number of Institutes will organize specific panels for the conference.

Deadline for paper proposals: November 30, 2012.
