This conference aims to bring together some of the leading philosophers in
the world to discuss epistemological themes that fall broadly under the
title of Virtue Epistemology. For the conference homepage, go to:

The conference has been timed to coincide with Professor John Greco's visit

Scots Philosophical Club Centenary Fellow. For further details about this
visit, go to:

The conference will be held at the Stirling Management Centre which is
situated on the University of Stirling campus (and which is also an hotel).
Delegate numbers for this conference are strictly limited and will be filled
on a first-come, first-served basis. Given that interest in this event is
expected to be high, prospective delegates are encouraged to register early.
The full registration fee is £50, which includes lunch on both the Saturday
and the Sunday, tea/coffee throughout the conference, and the conference
dinner on the Saturday night (including wine). A reduced registration fee of
£40 is available for those who do not wish to attend the conference dinner.
A registration form can be found on the conference webpages.

There will also be a pre-conference dinner on Friday 19th November for those
who have arrived early for the conference (and also a pre-conference talk
that is open to all, whether registered for the conference or not - for more
details see the conference webpage). This will cost £25 per head, which
includes wine and transportation costs between the Philosophy Department and
the restaurant.
