…for a four-year project on "the nature and role of evidence."  Professor Teresa Marques (Barcelona) writes:

The project is collaborative as it involves researchers from the three universities that integrate BIAP: The University of Barcelona, the University Pompeu Fabra, and the University of Girona.

The research programme is organized around 7 work packages: evidence in epistemology (led by Sven Rosenkranz), evidence and the law (led by Jordi Ferrer), evidence in science (led by José Díez and Carl Hoefer), evidence in philosophy of mind (led by Josefa Toribio), evidence and philosophical method (led by Manuel García-Carpintero), evidence, politics, and the public sphere (led by José Juan Moreso and Serena Olsaretti), and a dedicated work package for outreach and transfer of knowledge (led by Teresa Marques)

The prize includes PhD fellowships, and the call for two PhD positions will open shortly.

In the legal philosophy world, Professors Ferrer and Moreso are well-known contributors.
