Registration for the conference is now closed.

Looking back on the past few months: The deadline for submissions was the 15th of August, 2017. We have received a stunning number of submissions. The double-blind peer-review process was strictly observed. The acceptance rate eventually turned out to be near to 4:1. — Please write to us if you feel you have missed something — or feel we have missed something…

We seem to be heading for a really momentous conference, with talks that make a difference, adding up to a recognizable scholarly step forward, indeed a breakthrough. Subsequent to the conference we plan to publish a high-quality collection of selected and edited papers – an elegant volume (series title: Perspectives on Visual Learning. Preliminary final 🙂 title/subtitle for volume 1: Vision Fulfilled: The Victory of the Pictorial Turn). All points of view, including historical, philosophical, sociological, etc. are welcome. The conference language – the language of all submissions, talks, and ensuing publications – is English.

Please contact  Prof. Dr. András Benedek and Kristóf Nyíri if you have questions at this stage.
