Confirmed speakers:

The Institute of Philosophy, School of Advanced Study (London), Arché (St Andrews), CSMN (Oslo), IHPST/Chaire d'Excellence 'Ontological Structure and Semantic Structure' (Paris), and Logos (Barcelona) are organizing the second annual colloquium 'Semantics and Philosophy in Europe' (SPE), which will take place in London, 16-18 April 2009.

The purpose of the colloquium is to enhance the dialogue between linguists and philosophers and to provide a new forum for presenting research in the interface between linguistic semantics and the various related areas of philosophy (philosophy of language, epistemology, metaphysics, philosophy of mathematics, and philosophy of mind). The colloquium is to take place every year, alternating between Paris, London, St Andrews, Barcelona and Oslo.

The first colloquium took place in Paris, in May 2008.
