Scots Philosophical Association

About

The charity is designed to advance the study of Philosophy, exchange of philosophical ideas, and philosophical education in Scotland. To promote philosophical education we provide block grants to universities with post-graduate programmes in philosophy in Scotland. The grants are to be used for developmental activities for post-graduate students, such as traveling to present at a conference. Each university also receives a grant for promoting the department's activities. On a rotating basis, we provide a grant to one university to host a visiting philosopher. Finally, we fund conferences in workshop in Scotland to facilitate the exchange of views. The board reviews proposals from organisers and provides a guarantee against loss, reimbursing the organiser or organising institution for incurred expenses up to an agreed upon limit.
