The ISVW was founded by the Dutch writer and philosopher Frederik van Eeden and celebrates its 100th anniversary this year. The school is a non-profit private institute that aims to promote philosophy, both academically and for a broader public. All incomes generated by the ISVW are reinvested in the promotion of philosophy.

How: Academic Philosophy with a Twist
Our model are so-called ‘ScienceSlam’ events, in which academics of all disciplines present and explain their research in relatively short time (usually 10 minutes) to a broad public. The video on the right is an example of such a presentation.
Good presentations do not dumb down their topic; rather, they manage to communicate an important insight from their research in an accessible way. Showing how our philosophical research is relevant for our society is crucial for our profession and it fits nicely with the goals of this year's host institution, the ISVW. Being able to communicate philosophical ideas across disciplinary boarders is a valuable skill - both for our individual careers as well as for society. The 36th Dutch-Flemish Day of Philosophy provides an excellent platform to give it a try. |
