The respective parts of the Philosophy Departments at Bochum
(Germany), Lausanne (Switzerland) and Tilburg (The

philosophy of language, mind and science. In this context,
week-long meetings are organized which bring together
students from all three locations as well as interested
graduate students from other universities. Each meeting
focuses on one main topic, which is covered in extended
tutorials by invited speakers. Additionally, students are
invited to present and discuss their own work. The graduate
