[obml] [Extern] Call for participation: Semantics and Philosophy in Europe/OntoBRIX, Bressanone, June 8-10, 2026

[Ludger Jansen]

Call for Participation

*Semantics and Philosophy in Europe (SPE 13) & OntoBRIX:*

*Ontology and Semantics at the Intersection of Linguistics, Computer 
Science, and Philosophy*

PTH Brixen College, Bressanone, Italy, 8.–10. June 2026

**

Since some decades, ontology is used for supporting semantic analysis, 
both in linguistics and computing. In both fields, this lead to 
intensive interdisciplinary discussions between these fields and 
philosophical ontology. This colloquium aims at providing an 
interdisciplinary forum for researchers from relevant disciplines such 
as linguistics, computing science, information science, and philosophy. 
It brings together instalments of two series of events:

  * The *Semantics and Philosophy in Europe (SPE) colloquia* provides a
    forum for presenting research in the interface between linguistic
    semantics and various areas of philosophy (philosophy of language,
    philosophy of mind/cognition, metaphysics, and philosophy of
    mathematics). This year's colloquium Semantics and Philosophy in
    Europe (SPE13) wants to foster in particular the dialogue between
    applied ontology, as a semantic technology in computer science, and
    linguistics and philosophy.

  * The newly named *OntoBRIX series *intends to connect researchers
    from the Euroregio Tyrol–South Tyrol–Trentino and beyond; it has
    been inaugurated with a meeting in Brixen in 2023.
