Papers selection

1. The selection of papers is the responsibility of the Scientific Committee of the IMP.

2. Besides the detailed Abstract (as specified above), the Committee will consider the theoretical pertinence of the subject -matter to pragmatism and related doctrines, as well as its importance as a theme of precise philosophical purport.

Time for presentation during the 15th IMP

1. The time for the presentation of each Communication is 30 minutes; 20 minutes for the presentation of the work and 10 minutes for the debate.

2. The presentations should be spoken either in Portuguese or in English.

3. There will be no simultaneous translation for the IMP. For that matter, all authors are required to present their Papers in written English. The written text will be projected on screen simultaneously with the author's speech (the Organizing Commission will be responsible for the equipment). For this purpose, we kindly ask each author to prepare a digital file - a Power-Point or PDF type or similar - of the original text, giving it to the coordinator of the session before its beginning.
