We look forward to seeing you at the 1st International Online Conference on Symmetry (IOCSYM 2026).
Online
We invite you to attend this event organized by MDPI Philosophies (ISSN: 2409-9287, IF: 0.7). It will take place virtually on 26–30 October 2026, CET.
The theme of the IOCPh 2026 is more general and metaphilosophical than that of the last edition (The 1st International Online Conference of the Journal Philosophies - Intelligent Inquiry into Intelligence-Contributing to the 2025 IS4SI Summit) in its call for reflection on the role of philosophy in searching for a unified view of reality derived from various forms of inquiry, and overcoming the barriers created by differences in their methodological tools. The First Conference had a similar objective of searching for the common ground, but in a more restricted context of the study of intelligence. Now, we invite contributions with reflections on a more general subject of the role of philosophy in integrating studies in more diverse contexts, of course, including the study of intelligence as one of them.
The complete conference announcement file can be found attached HERE. Please feel free to download it at your convenience.
