Why are you giving priority to bachelor and master students?
While any level of student can apply to Nordphil, we believe that one has matured enough in the subject of philosophy to have original ideas at that level of study. While PhD level certainly have matured enough in the subject, at this level one often have a broader selection of other venues and conferences to apply to. We encourage Masters students, especially undergraduates, to submit papers to us and try to participate in the conference to showcase their originality and creativity.
Do I have to be a student to apply to Nordphil?
Yes. You have to be an affiliated active student with a Nordic university at the time you submit your abstract to apply to Nordphil. We define an affiliated active student as someone who have been enrolled in a Nordic University during at least the academic year 2025-2026.
